Sri Lanka Women U19 tour of India 2026

The Sri Lanka Women's U19 team's tour of India runs from June 22 to July 6. This is a six-match bilateral series comprising three Youth T20Is in Chennai and three Youth ODIs (List A matches) in Puducherry. Led by wicketkeeper-batter Bhavika Ahire, the Indian team will host the young Sri Lankan squad captained by Chamudi Praboda. The Sri Lankan team departed for the tour on June 18. There will be no main TV broadcast in India; Indian fans can watch the matches on FanCode, while viewers in Sri Lanka can tune in via local Dialog/ThePapare platforms.

Although not a major tournament, this series serves as a crucial stepping stone for the young players' careers. Given their stellar performances in recent ICC and ACC youth tournaments, India is considered the strong favorite; however, a 50-over bilateral contest between these two U19 teams will offer a fresh experience. Consequently, the three ODIs in Puducherry could prove to be the most exciting and unpredictable part of the tour.
