Sri Lanka and West Indies are all set to face off in a two-match Test series, starting on November 21 at the Galle International Stadium.
Interestingly, Sri Lanka played their last Test series against West Indies way back in March and April 2021. It was a two-match Test series and ended without any result in both contests.
Dimuth Karunaratne’s side would be aiming to turn the tables this time around and produce results. With wickets assisting spin, we can expect Sri Lankan spinners to dominate the proceedings.
West Indies are entering this series after playing two home Tests against Pakistan in August 2021. West Indies managed to draw the two-match series 1-1. West Indies have enough firepower to get results in their favor.
Kraigg Brathwaite will be leading the Test side with Roston Chase taking over all-rounder duties in the middle order. Rahkeem Cornwall’s form will be very important for West Indies.
