Sri Lankan women's cricket team in New Zealand in 2015–16

Sri Lankan women's cricket team toured New Zealand in November 2015. The tour included a series of 5 ODIs and 3 T20Is. The first 3 of the 5 ODIs matches were also part of the 2014–16 ICC Women's Championship.[1] The Sri Lanka team was announced on 8 October 2015 and the captaincy was given back to all-rounder Shashikala Siriwardene.[2] However, on the third WODI, Siriwardene suffered a thumb fracture injury which forced her to retire from the tour and the captaincy for the remaining matches was given back to the previous captain Chamari Atapattu.[3]
