Sri Lankan cricket team in England and Ireland in 2016

The Sri Lanka national cricket team toured England from 8 May to 5 July 2016 for a three-match Test series, a five-match One Day International (ODI) series and a one-off Twenty20 International (T20I) against the England cricket team. England won the Test series 2–0, the ODI series 3–0 and won the one-off T20I match by 8 wickets.

They also played two first-class matches against Essex and Leicestershire prior to the Test series, and two ODI matches against Ireland prior to the ODI series.[1] The two first-class matches were both drawn and Sri Lanka won the ODI series against Ireland 2–0.

In April 2016, the ECB made a proposal that the series uses a points-based scoring system across all three formats, with both teams agreeing to the idea in principle.[2][3] The following month, the points system was named Super Series and approved for this series and England's series against Pakistan.[4] Four points were awarded for winning a Test match and two points for wins in ODIs or T20Is matches. No overall trophy was awarded, but there was a prize of £25,000, to be split amongst the players.[4] England won the Super Series 20–4.

Kusal Perera replaced Dhammika Prasad in Sri Lanka's Test squad.[10] Chris Woakes was added to England's squad for the second Test as a replacement for the injured Ben Stokes, who was later ruled out of the series.[11][12] Dushmantha Chameera suffered a stress fracture in his lower back and was ruled out of the tour.[13] Chaminda Bandara was named as Chameera's replacement.[14] Following the ODI matches in Ireland, Shaminda Eranga was admitted to hospital in Dublin to undergo tests on his heart.[15] However, on the same day, he was suspended from bowling in international matches by the International Cricket Council (ICC) due to an illegal action reported during the second Test.[16] Prior to the third ODI, Lahiru Thirimanne was ruled out of the rest of the series with a lower back strain.[17]
