Sri Lanka’s all-format tour of the West Indies comprising three T20Is, three One-Day Internationals, and two Tests will commence on March 3, 2021, in Antigua in a bio-secure environment. All the fixtures of the series will be conducted behind closed doors at the same venue owing to the COVID-19 situation.
The last West Indies hosted an international game was during Ireland’s tour in January 2020, and though they have played against England, New Zealand, and Bangladesh ever since, a home series remained elusive. The current tour was earlier scheduled to start from February 28, and that is when Cricket West Indies also had plans in place to keep one leg of the series in St Lucia, however, Sri Lanka head coach Mickey Arthur and batsman Lahiru Thirimanne contracting COVID-19 led to a delay in the visitors’ arrival.
