West Indies will play a three-match T20I series followed by a three-game ODI series.
The T20I series will commence on 13th October, and all three games will be played in Dambulla. This will be followed by the ODI series, to be played from 20-26 October in Kandy.
Sri Lanka will seek to take confidence from their positive run in recent months, with an ODI series win over India, a Test match win against England at The Oval, and a brilliant run in the Test series against New Zealand at home.
Though the Men in Maroon had their fair share of disappointments in the Test arena, they recently beat South Africa 3-0 in a T20I contest at home.
