The West Indies cricket team will arrive in Sri Lanka on the November 1 to play a three-match Test series and a one-day tri-series, which also involves Zimbabwe.

This is the first full tour that the West Indies have made to Sri Lanka. In their only other tour since Sri Lanka attained full ICC Test status, in 1993, they played just one Test, and one ODI.

The West Indies will warm up for the Tests with two three day games, the first in Colombo and the second in Matara, before the first Test at Galle International Stadium (14-18th November).

The second Test Match will be in Kandy (23-27th November) and final Test in Colombo (1- 5th December).
