AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test (Colombo): India go into the SSC decider on Aug 23 aiming for a 2-0 sweep after the 165-run win in Galle, with Gautam Gambhir pushing for a winning bowling plan that can take 20 wickets and backing Kuldeep Yadav to focus on quality spells. Selection debate: Kuldeep’s quiet Galle outing has sparked talk of Saransh Jain’s possible debut and even an off-spinner switch, while Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva urges pacers to lift and expects a dry pitch that helps batting early. Weather watch: Rain and thunderstorms remain a real threat across the five days in Colombo, with showers possible on each day. Sri Lanka cricket changes: Hashan Tillakaratne is named senior men’s batting coach, and Sri Lanka reshuffle their squad after injuries, including Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka ruled out. Public services: Sri Lanka Police restored the online police clearance certificate system after a disruption, asking applicants to resubmit via the regular portal. Health alert: Dengue cases in Sri Lanka have surged to 93,635, with 71 deaths reported so far. Environment: Polonnaruwa recorded the country’s highest temperature at 37.2°C. Industry move: Sri Lanka plans to strengthen shark-fishing management to meet international standards. Sports beyond cricket: Miss Teen Sri Lanka 2026 leaves for an international pageant in Jaipur.
