Sri Lanka have recalled veteran all-rounder Thisara Perera and fast bowler Nuwan Pradeep for the two-match T20I series against West Indies. The squad is more or less the same as in the ODIs, with the exception of Dimuth Karunaratne who does not feature for the team in the shortest format.

Lasith Malinga will be leading the side against the current T20 world champions who are led by Kieron Pollard. The first T20 match will be played on Wednesday (March 4) while the other match will be played on Friday (March 6). Kandy is the venue for both matches.
