Colombo: The West Indies cricket team will visit Sri Lanka later this month for three one-day international matches to make up for a washed out five-match series last year, cricket authorities said on Sunday.
Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement that the newly built Suriyawewa stadium in the southern Hambantota district will host the first match on January 31.
The other two matches will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on February 4 and 6.
The matches will give valuable practice for both sides with the cricket World Cup scheduled to start on February 19, co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Both teams drew a three-match Test series last year amid bad weather and the limited-overs series was postponed.
