The two teams will lock horns against each other at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad. Sri Lanka last tour of West Indies was 10 years ago under captain Mahela Jayawardene. While Lankans arrive on this trip in terrific form, in which their only defeat in their last seven Tests was away to top-ranked Team India.

Going into the first Test, the hosts will be relying on their seniors to share the responsibilities and take an early lead into the series.
