Will England be able to maintain their white-ball form in the one-day series against Sri Lanka?
England will play Sri Lanka in a three-match one-day series beginning on Tuesday in Durham, hoping to maintain their white-ball momentum following a whitewash in the recent Twenty20 series. Over the years, these two countries have had some exciting matches, but the three-match T20 series did little to further the story of their rivalry. A 3-0 home victory was expected, but the ease with which it was won was astonishing. Only the most ardent optimist would argue against Eoin Morgans side winning the 50-over contest, especially after three first-choice players  Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella, and Danushka Gunathalika  were dropped from the squad for violating Covid rules.

During the T20s, he seemed in fantastic form, even showing off a new party piece when he bowled a 73mph seamer in the final game.
