West Indies – Sri Lanka Test Cricket:
A historical perspective

(Part IV – Final Instalment)

By Winston McGowan

This fourth and final instalment of this article will focus on the two Test series between the West Indies and Sri Lanka which immediately preceded the recently concluded tour by Mahela Jayawardena’s team.

The first of these series was contested in the Caribbean in June 2003, when the two sides were led by Brain Lara in his second stint as skipper and Hashan Tillekeratne, while the second took place in July 2005 in Sri Lanka, where the captains were Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Marvan Atapattu. Both series were short two-match rubbers.
