India will continue to build towards the T20 World Cup when they host Sri Lanka for a three-game series this month.

Virat Kohli's men will look to start 2020 in the same impressive form they ended 2019.

The last time they were in T20I action they secured a 2-1 series success over West Indies in December.

The squads for both India and Sri Lanka have now been announced ahead of the first fixture on Sunday 5th January.

India head into the first action of 2020 in fine form after overcoming the Windies in T20I and ODI matches to end 2019.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, go into the match on the back of a Test defeat to Pakistan.

Their last T20I series saw them lose 3-0 against Australia but they had previously whitewashed Pakistan over three games in October.
