The West Indies cricket team toured Sri Lanka in February and March 2020 to play three One Day International (ODI) and two Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The full schedule for the tour was confirmed by Sri Lanka Cricket on 21 January 2020. The West Indies last toured Sri Lanka in October and November 2015.
On 19 February 2020, Sri Lanka named their ODI squad, with Dimuth Karunaratne returning as captain of the side. Lahiru Thirimanne had led the team in their previous ODI series, against Pakistan, but was dropped due to poor form. Sri Lanka won the first two ODIs, to give them an unassailable lead in the series. Sri Lanka won the final ODI by six runs, winning the series 3–0.
In the first T20I match, Kieron Pollard became the first cricketer to play in 500 Twenty20 matches. The West Indies won the T20I series 2–0.
