Sri Lanka take on England in the first T20I of a three-match series in Pallekele. The series comes as perfect prep for upcoming T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, starting February 7. England have named Jofra Archer in their XI with the pacer making a full recovery from the side strain that brought his Ashes campaign to an early end late last year.

Sri Lanka will host England in the first of three T20Is at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, with the T20 World Cup on the radar of both teams.

Dasun Shanaka will remain the captain of Sri Lanka, with the hosts retaining the core group that featured in the recent series against Pakistan.
