Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka:
Sri Lanka will face Bangladesh in the opening Test of a two-match series starting Tuesday in Galle, marking the start of their 2025–27 World Test Championship (WTC) campaign.
The match will also be a sentimental one, as veteran all-rounder and former captain Angelo Mathews is set to retire from Test cricket. Fittingly, the 37-year-old will bid farewell to the format at the same Galle International Stadium where he made his debut in 2009.
With 8,167 runs in 118 matches, he is only behind Kumar Sangakkara (12,400) and Mahela Jayawardena (11,814) for the most Test runs by a Sri Lankan. He also proved handy with the ball with 33 wickets to his name.
He also has the second-most runs at Galle, with 2206 runs across 33 Test matches at the venue.

'What I feel at times is that...': Dinesh Karthik gives Gautam Gambhir clear advice on coaching
Dinesh Karthik shared honest advice for India head coach Gautam Gambhir, pointing out the challenges of transitioning from captain to coach. This comes before the start of the Test series between India and England. The Indian team will be eyeing a strong start to the new World Test Championship cycle. read more Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik recently shared his thoughts on the current India head coach Gautam Gambhir's coaching style during an episode of the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast. Karthik praised Gambhir for his tactical skills but also gave him some honest advice about the challenges of coaching. Karthik's honest take on Gambhir Karthik pointed out that coaching is very different from captaincy. He said that Gambhir's aggressive nature as a captain may not work the same way when he is a coach. According to Karthik, coaching involves handling many different personalities and trusting players to do their job once they are on the field. 'Tactically, Gauti (Gautam Gambhir) is a very good coach. Man management is the area that I am sure he would be looking at. But one thing about him is that he is looking out for his players which is massive. What I feel at times is that the way he is aggressive as a captain, you can't be as a coach. You are managing different individuals. Once you let them out in the park, you trust them to do the job. That is the challenge,' Karthik said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Even though Gambhir has tasted success in limited-overs in a very short time, his tenure as Test coach has not gone as planned yet. In his first assignment as the red-ball coach, India lost a three-match home Test series to New Zealand. They went on to lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Australia and were knocked out of the World Test Championship final race. Gambhir and his team received a lot of criticism for the disaster but they recovered well and went on to win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Now, Gambhir's latest task is to help India win a Test series in England. With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired, India have travelled with a new-look team. Shubman Gill is the new captain, and Rishabh Pant is his deputy. Gambhir and his men will look to bring the trophy home and start the new cycle of the World Test Championship on a positive note. The series will start on 20 June at Headingley, Leeds. India's squad: Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav

ICC plans four-day Tests for smaller nations in 2027-29 WTC cycle
LONDON: The International Cricket Council (ICC) is ready to sanction four-day Tests for smaller nations in the 2027-29 World Test Championship cycle but India, Australia and England can still play the traditional five-day matches, according a report here. The move to reduce matches by one day would be a significant change and could help smaller nations to play more Tests and longer series. "During discussions last week at the WTC final at Lord's, the ICC chair, Jay Shah, is understood to have expressed his support for four-day Tests, intending to sanction them in time for the 2027-29 WTC cycle," a report in The Guardian newspaper said. "England, Australia and India would still be permitted to schedule five-Test series of five-day matches for the Ashes, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the newly named Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the first iteration of which begins with the first Test between England and India at Headingley on Friday." The ICC first sanctioned four-day Tests for bilateral contests in 2017. England played Zimbabwe over four days at Trent Bridge last month after four-day Tests against Ireland in 2019 and 2023. According to the report, "many smaller nations are reluctant to host Tests due to the time they take out of the schedule and the cost, but a move to four-day cricket would enable an entire three-Test series to be played in less than three weeks." "In four-day Tests the playing hours are extended to mandate a minimum of 98 overs per day rather than 90 overs to mitigate the time lost," it said. "South Africa's threadbare itinerary despite being crowned world champions in the thrilling final against Australia at Lord's last week has further highlighted the issue, and focused minds on the need for change," the report added.
