Cricket fans, get ready! The much-anticipated clash between England and Sri Lanka kicks off with the first Test of their three-match series this Wednesday in Manchester. England, led by their vice-captain Ollie Pope, will be looking to set the tone for the series despite the absence of their star all-rounder, Ben Stokes, who’s sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained during the Hundred. To bolster their chances, England has recalled fast bowler Matthew Potts, opting for a robust five-man attack.
On the other side, Sri Lanka may no longer boast legends like Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, but they still have experienced players like Angelo Mathews and Dimuth Karunaratne to rely on. Additionally, with the guidance of interim coach and Sri Lankan cricket icon Sanath Jayasuriya, Dhananjaya de Silva’s squad is ready to put up a formidable fight.
