SL vs BAN 1st Test Cricket Live Streaming Details: Fans can watch Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 1st Test live.
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 1st Test Live Streaming Details – When And Where To Watch: Four days after South Africa were crowned champions at Lord's, the new cycle of the ICC World Test Championship kicks off on Tuesday, June 17, as Bangladesh arrive in Sri Lanka for a two-Test series. The Lankan Lions host the Bangla Tigers for the first Test on their favourite hunting ground, the Galle International Stadium, with an eye towards victory and an unassailable lead.
The Sri Lankans will be bidding farewell to their former skipper and one of their best players of the modern era, Angelo Mathews, after the Galle Test. Mathews, 38, brings curtains on his long career that began at the same venue back in 2009. Skipper Dhananjaya de Silva's men will be hoping to give their veteran allrounder a befitting send-off and bag crucial early points in the 2025-27 cycle after the disappointments of the previous two-year campaign.
Najmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh will be equally determined to put the string of defeats in the past behind them and make a fresh start. The inexperienced side faced a bag of mixed results in the previous cycle. While a remarkable 2-0 whitewash over Pakistan headlined a journey that also featured impressive standalone wins against New Zealand and West Indies, Bangladesh still finished seventh on the nine-team table with eight losses. One spot below the Lankans, who won five of their 13 Tests.
The 1st Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will be played from Tuesday, June 17, at Galle. The match will start at 10:00 AM IST.
The live streaming of the Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 1st Test will be available on the Sony Liv app in India.

Time to step aside for new talent: Angelo Mathews
Galle, June 16 (UNI) Angelo Mathews, one of Sri Lanka's modern Test greats, brought his 16-year-long red-ball career to a poignant close at the same venue where it all began — the Galle International Stadium, choosing to step aside not for personal reasons, but to open the door for the next generation. "We all come and go. Many greats came before us, and we came in as youngsters. Now it's time for us to leave as seniors," said Mathews, speaking on the eve of the first Test against Bangladesh. "We've got so many youngsters knocking on the door. I felt this was the right time to step aside." The 37-year-old, who debuted in 2009 at this very ground, said he made the decision after assessing both his own recent form and Sri Lanka's future schedule. "My performances in the last 7-8 games weren't what I expected of myself. I didn't want to be a burden to the team," Mathews said. "Also, we don't have any Test games for over a year after this series. It would be unfair for the youngster replacing me to wait that long for another opportunity." He confirmed he would not play in the second Test of the ongoing series, allowing his successor a chance to gain valuable experience. Reflecting on his career, Mathews cited several highlights: the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne (2010), the historic Test series win in England in 2014, Sri Lanka's ICC World T20 title in 2014, and back-to-back Asia Cup wins in 2014 and 2016 — the triumphing over Australia in Bangladesh. "Winning in Bangladesh was special," he added, acknowledging his fondness for the country and the camaraderie he shares with most of its players. When asked about his equation with Shakib Al Hasan following the controversial timed-out incident during the 2023 World Cup, Mathews responded with dignity: "It was an unfortunate incident. I hope it never happens again. But I hold no grudges. Everyone's a good friend, and I wish them well." Looking ahead, Mathews expressed confidence in the current setup under selectors like Sanath Jayasuriya and the leadership of retired Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis. "Communication has been excellent. Whether you're a junior or senior, they keep you in the loop. That sort of clarity creates a healthy environment, and performance follows. We've seen that across formats in the past two years." Ending where he began, Mathews reflected on the symbolism of Galle. "It's poetic. I made my debut here, played my 100th Test here, and now I say goodbye here. It feels right." As Sri Lanka embarks on a transitional phase, Mathews' exit marks the end of an era — not with fanfare, but with humility and foresight. UNI BDN SSP

"It's quite sad to be honest": Angelo Mathews reflects on his final test match
New Delhi [India], June 16 (ANI): Ahead of his final Test match against Bangladesh starting from Tuesday, former Sri Lanka (SL) captain Angelo Mathews reflected on his last match in Galle. Mathews, on May 23, announced that the first test match against Bangladesh in June will be his last red-ball appearance for his country. Sri Lanka will be playing just four Tests in 2025 - their lowest number of Tests in a calendar year since 2013. 'I played my 100th Test in Galle, so I thought I'd say goodbye in Galle. But the main reason was because we don't have any games coming up, at least for now. After this, we'll be having our next assignment in Test cricket after a year's time, that is a very long wait,' Angelo Mathews said as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. Mathews also said he wanted to give the player replacing him in the second Test a chance to play, as opportunities might be less until the following year. 'I thought it's good to give an opportunity to whoever is going to replace me in the second Test, because he's not going to get an opportunity till the next year (laughs). And in that year, you don't know what what's going to happen. So I thought I'd just play one game and then try and give an opportunity to the other guy who's replacing me in the second Test.' Mathews, who made his Test debut against Pakistan in 2009, has been a cornerstone of Sri Lankan cricket for over 15 years, excelling as both an all-rounder and a leader. Aggregating 8,167 in 118 matches, he is only behind Kumar Sangakkara (12,400) and Mahela Jayawardena (11,814) for most Test runs by a Sri Lankan. He also proved handy with the ball with 33 wickets to his name. (ANI)
