The three one-day internationals will take place at Canterbury (30 July), Chelmsford (31 July) and Hove (2 August). The match at Hove will be a day-night match, the first floodlit international to be staged in this country. This floodlit match will be played with an orange Duke's ball for the first time.

The matches form a vital part of both sides' preparations towards the U19 World Cup, due to be staged in Sri Lanka early in 2000. The NatWest England U19 side are the holders after winning the competition in South Africa in February 1998, beating New Zealand in the Final.
