England arrive in Sri Lanka looking to recalibrate after a difficult Ashes campaign in Australia. Harry Brook leads the side in both formats, overseeing a squad that features a blend of experienced stars like Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid alongside emerging talents such as Jacob Bethell. The return of opener Zak Crawley to the ODI setup after a long absence is a key talking point for the visitors.

Sri Lanka, led by Charith Asalanka in the ODIs and Dasun Shanaka in the T20Is, will look to capitalise on familiar home conditions. The hosts have recalled Test captain Dhananjaya de Silva to the ODI squad to bolster the middle order, though they will be missing some of their senior pace bowlers for the opening leg of the tour.
