England Look To Fine Tune For T20 World Cup With Sri Lanka Series

By AFP News January 30, 2026 • 08:28 AM View: 392

Ranked number three in the world, England have most of their boxes ticked ahead of next month's T20 World Cup, with several of their batters and bowlers comfortably sitting inside the top ten of the rankings.

The three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, all to be played at Pallekele starting on Friday, is less about experimentation and more about fine tuning ahead of the format's showpiece tournament, which will be co-hosted by the island nation alongside neighbours India.
