It is really disheartening to play only 5 Tests a year; maybe, we will play more games this year: Mathews, Angelo

  Angelo Mathews, the former captain of Sri Lanka, has expressed his disappointment regarding the lack of Test matches played by the national team. He stated that the insufficient number of Tests being played will not be beneficial for Sri Lanka in the long run. Mathews highlighted his concern about Sri Lanka playing a Test match after a gap of more than six months, as it makes it difficult for the players to get accustomed to a particular routine before preparing for any series. During the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch, Mathews scored 47 runs and surpassed the 7,000-run mark in Tests. After the game, he expressed his desire for the national side to have more opportunities to play Test matches in the future.

Shaheen Afridi hints support for enduring an onslaught captain Babar Azam with mysterious post

  Pakistan's all-format captain Babar Azam has been rested from the T20I squad for the series against Afghanistan to manage his workload. Reports had suggested that Shaheen Afridi might lead the side in Babar's absence, but the left-arm pacer was also rested along with Babar. Shaheen posted a cryptic tweet backing Babar, amid the debate on his captaincy's impact on his personal form.
