The Malaysian National Women’s Cricket Team will embark on a tour of Sri Lanka from late October to mid-November, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced in a media release on Monday (27).

The team arrived in Sri Lanka on Wednesday (29), ahead of a five-match T20 series against the Sri Lanka U19 National Team.

This bilateral series forms part of Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) ongoing drive to promote and strengthen women’s cricket among ICC Associate Member Nations, fostering international relations on the sporting sphere and competitive opportunities for emerging teams.

The series will commence on Sunday (2 November) at the NCC Grounds, Colombo, followed by matches on 3,5,7, and 10 November at both NCC and Colts Cricket Club Grounds.

The tour is expected to provide valuable exposure for both teams, with the young Sri Lankan squad set to gain experience against an established international side, while Malaysia continues its upward curve in the women’s cricket arena.
