Sri Lankan cricket team in England and Ireland in 2016

The Sri Lanka national cricket team is scheduled to tour 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. They will also play two three-day matches against Essex and Leicestershire prior to the Test series, and two ODI matches against Ireland prior to the ODI series.[1] 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]
