India will tour Sri Lanka for a series of three men's T20Is and three ODIs in late July and early August. The series kicks off with consecutive T20Is on July 26 and 27, followed by the ODIs starting on August 1, with a two-day gap between each match.

The T20Is will be held at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, while the ODIs will take place at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

This series marks the debut of new head coaches for both teams. Sanath Jayasuriya has been appointed as Sri Lanka's interim head coach, while Gautam Gambhir will undertake his first assignment as India's head coach. Rahul Dravid's tenure concluded with India's victory at the T20 World Cup 2024.

India's most recent tour of Sri Lanka for a bilateral white-ball series was in July 2021, with Rahul Dravid serving as the stand-in coach and Shikhar Dhawan as the captain for both series. India triumphed in the ODI series 2-1, while Sri Lanka won the T20I series by the same margin.

This will be India's second T20I series after their T20 World Cup victory, following their ongoing tour of Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka, having been eliminated in the first round of the T20 World Cup, have had their players competing in the LPL 2024 since then.
