England, winners of the T20 World Cup in 2010 and 2022, failed to advance to the finals in the last edition held in the West Indies and the USA. Led by Ben Stokes, England recently played a five-match Test series against India. The Anderson-Tendulkar 2025 series between England and India ended in a 2-2 draw.
However, the ECB stated that the Sri Lanka Cricket Board will announce the venues. Both teams are expected to gain valuable experience from the series ahead of the World Cup.
"The three-match one-day international series will begin on Thursday 22 January and end on Tuesday 27 January. The three-match IT20 series starts on Friday 30 January before concluding on Tuesday 3 February."
England will gain valuable preparation for Indian conditions by playing in Sri Lanka, as both countries offer similar pitch behavior. Unlike in England, where seam bowlers often dominate, Asian surfaces tend to favor spinners.
