AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

India–Sri Lanka Tests (Warm-up): Team India wrapped up its Colombo warm-up with a six-wicket win over Sri Lanka Cricket XI at NCC, chasing 207 with Shubman Gill’s 44 and Devdutt Padikkal’s unbeaten 142, while Mohammed Siraj’s late hitting sealed the chase; batting coach Sitanshu Kotak called it “very good, very productive” ahead of the two-match series starting August 15 at Galle. Player Updates: Spin coach Sairaj Bahutule said Kuldeep Yadav’s non-bowling in the second innings was workload management, not injury, and confirmed Shubman Gill is “very much ready” after a finger scare; Sarfaraz Khan was named to replace injured Sai Sudharsan. Cricket Governance: Sri Lanka’s Professional Cricketers’ Association was launched with Kusal Mendis as inaugural president, backed by the World Cricketers’ Association, aiming to strengthen player representation during Sri Lanka Cricket reforms. Public Health: Sri Lanka reports a sharp rise in early syphilis cases among men, with 508 cases in 2025 versus 175 among women. Labour Migration: SLBFE opens its Israel job portal today for 16,000 applicants in restaurant and renovation sectors. Crime & Justice: CCIB summoned SLPP General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam over remarks about the IGP; separate reports also flag a gold smuggling appeal and prison unrest concerns, with HRCSL calling officials for follow-up talks. Economy: Sri Lanka’s remittances crossed US$5 billion in the first seven months of 2026, reaching US$5.3824bn by January–July.
