COLOMBO: The Afghanistan men’s team has played seven Tests in their set of experiences; for Sri Lanka, this is the first of eight (maybe nine) planned for 2024. This is, by all accounts, a confuse.
Rashid Khan isn’t with Afghanistan to give his threatening legbreaks and general motivation – he is as yet recuperating from back a medical procedure, and has not played serious cricket since November. Their most experienced spinner in a country where turn regularly chooses matches is left-arm wrist spinner Zahir Khan, who has a normal of 44.90 from his four Tests. What’s more, having shown up in Sri Lanka just on Tuesday night, they have given themselves under three days to adapt. This, undeniably, is how much regard Tests are given in certain regions of the planet.
Where Afghanistan will feel they can meet Sri Lanka based on additional equivalent conditions, in any case, is with the bat. In the more limited designs, Ibrahim Zadran has had accomplishment against Sri Lanka, as has Rahmat Shah, while skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi midpoints 53.57 in Test cricket. In the ODIs Afghanistan have played in Sri Lanka, their batting has generally dazzled. They will take no little trust in their new strength over Sri Lanka’s bowling in that organization.
Sri Lanka are toward the start of a new section – Dhananjaya de Silva is getting his most memorable Test in charge. Up to this point, he has not guaranteed anything extremist. A more prominent accentuation on handling, maybe, yet no discount updating of system or staff. He has been a unique presence in the Sri Lanka Test side, having recently developed into a fair lower-center request hitter, who contributes significantly with ball and in the field too. How he marshals an assault with next to no far and away matchwinners and how habitually he bowls himself will make for intriguing survey.
