The West Indies-Sri Lanka ODIs begin on June 3: here are the complete squads of both teams, including all injury updates for the WI vs SL ODI series.
West Indies will host Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series as both teams gear up for the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup, which will return to the format used in the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup, featuring two groups of seven teams and a Super Six stage before the semi-finals and final.
Sri Lanka are currently ranked sixth in ICC ODI rankings and would be aiming to overtake Pakistan in fifth position by the end of this series. They will have their task cut out as West Indies haven’t lost an ODI series at home since 2023, winning all of their last four ODI series played on the Caribbean shores.

All three ODIs are set to be played at Sabina Park in Jamaica on June 3, June 7, and June 9, followed by three T20Is at the same venue.

West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2026 ODIs: Team news
The Shai Hope-led team boasts of multiple fast bowlers in Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, and Jayden Seales, who can trouble the Sri Lankan batting unit in Jamaica. While Shamar and Seales have played a lot of cricket lately, Alzarri returns to the ODI setup after almost 11 months, as he last played against Australia in July 2025.
Shimron Hetmyer also returns to the ODI fold after impressing everyone back home with his splendid performances in the 2026 T20 World Cup. Gudakesh Motie missed the last tour to New Zealand but is in the mix for the home series against Sri Lanka.
For the visitors, it’s a new-look team led by a new skipper as Kusal Mendis takes on the captaincy duties, while former skipper Charith Asalanka is also named in the 16-member squad.
Wanindu Hasaranga has also made the cut for the Caribbean tour after missing yet another IPL season, while Matheesha Pathirana has been ruled out due to the injury he picked up while representing Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.
While the visitors will be without fast bowling ace Pathirana, Mendis will have the services of Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka, Eshan Malinga, Asitha Fernando, and Pramod Madushan in a well-rounded squad.
