Sri Lankan cricket team in the West Indies in 2018

The Sri Lankan cricket team toured the West Indies in June 2018 to play three Test matches. The series was played for Sobers–Tissera Trophy. The tour featured Sri Lanka's first Test matches in the West Indies since April 2008 and included their first Test match at the Kensington Oval. The Test match at the Kensington Oval also became the first day/night Test to be played in the West Indies. Ahead of the Test matches, there was a three-day tour match. The Test series was drawn 1–1.

Squads
Ahead of the tour, Dhananjaya de Silva initially withdrew from the Sri Lankan squad following the death of his father. However, he returned to the squad ahead of the first Test. Prior to the second Test, Angelo Mathews and Lahiru Gamage were ruled out of Sri Lanka's squad for the rest of the series (on account of personal reasons, and a fractured finger, respectively) and were replaced by Danushka Gunathilaka and Dasun Shanaka. Shimron Hetmyer was ruled out of the final Test due to illness, with Keemo Paul replacing him in West Indies' squad. Before the third and final Test, Sri Lanka's Jeffrey Vandersay was sent home due to conduct issues. ==Tour match==
