India A are set to travel to Sri Lanka for a seven-match ODI tri-nation series featuring Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A. The tournament runs from June 9 to June 21, 2026, with all matches to be played at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla.
The series follows a double round-robin format, where each team faces the other two sides twice across six league matches. The top two teams on the points table will advance to the final on June 21. Points are awarded as 2 for a win, 1 for a no-result, and 0 for a loss.
Tilak Varma leads an India A squad studded with young IPL stars, but all eyes will be on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. There was a good chance that this tour would not have been broadcast, as the A tours rarely are, but the 15-year-old
from Samastipur, Bihar, who won the IPL 2026 Orange Cap and MVP award with Rajasthan Royals, has seemingly singlehandedly changed that because of his popularity.
Afghanistan A will be captained by Imran Mir. Sri Lanka A is led by Sahan Arachchige, and the hosts feature experienced names like Niroshan Dickwella, Avishka Fernando, and Sadeera Samarawickrama, who are fighting to get back into the mix of the senior side.
