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

The Sri Lankan women's cricket team toured New Zealand in November 2015. The tour included a series of 5 One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 3 Twenty20 International matches. The first 3 of the 5 ODI matches were also part of the 2014–2016 ICC Women's Championship. The Sri Lanka team was announced on 8 October 2015 and the captaincy was given back to all-rounder Shashikala Siriwardene. However, during the third ODI, Siriwardene suffered a thumb fracture injury which forced her to retire from the tour. The captaincy for the remaining matches was given back to the previous captain Chamari Atapattu.
