Jamaica is set to host Sri Lanka’s tour of the West Indies next summer, with three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 (T20) matches scheduled for June. This announcement, confirmed by Jamaica Cricket Association President Dr. Donovan Bennett, marks the second consecutive summer of international cricket in Kingston, following Australia’s visit in July. It will also be the fourth series in two years, after South Africa and Bangladesh’s tours in 2024. Bennett expressed his ambition to establish Jamaica as a permanent hub for international cricket, citing strong local fan demand as a key factor in Cricket West Indies’ (CWI) decision. He highlighted the successful turnout for the Australia series, which bolstered Jamaica’s case for hosting more games. Bennett emphasized the importance of early planning and marketing for the upcoming series, noting that Sabina Park has undergone significant improvements, including new lights and a scoreboard. Despite challenges during the Australia series, the stadium received positive feedback from players and spectators. Bennett is optimistic about attracting even larger crowds for the Sri Lanka series, which will feature Sabina Park’s first ODI series since 2022 and only the second in nine years. Sri Lanka has not played a T20 series in Kingston before, with their most recent ODIs in the region dating back to 2013. Bennett is already in discussions with the Jamaica Tourist Board and other stakeholders to ensure the event’s success, aiming to secure sponsors and enhance the fan experience well in advance.
