The Sri Lankan team is currently on a tour of England for a three-match Test series. The first Test match between these two teams will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester. The first Test is starting today i.e. on 21st August. However, before the match started, the Sri Lankan team was evacuated from their dressing room after a fire alarm rang. Actually this fire alarm was not correct and it did not cause any trouble to the Sri Lankan team. The players returned to the dressing room only 15 minutes after this incident.
Let us tell you, before the start of the series, the Sri Lankan team played the only practice match against England Lions in which they had to face defeat by 7 wickets. Despite the defeat, Sri Lankan team captain Dhananjay de Silva said that he has full faith in his team and they will improve their position in the World Test Championship points table.
According to Cricket Times, Sri Lankan team captain Dhananjay de Silva said, ‘We had to play some matches but we did not get the chance. In the practice match, our team did not come on the field with full strength. We gave a chance to some players but the result did not go in our favor. We are fully prepared and are confident that we will definitely win the Test series against England.’
