Sri Lankan all-rounder Angelo Mathews has retired from Test cricket. He last played in the format during the recently concluded first Test against Bangladesh in Galle, which ended in a draw on June 21. Notably, the visitors dominated most of the series opener, but rain interruptions denied them a victory.
Sri Lanka have added left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage and pacer Vishwa Fernando to their squad for the second Test against Bangladesh.
Vishwa Fernando, with 27 Tests and 79 wickets to his name, brings valuable experience to the squad. The conditions in Colombo are expected to favour seam bowling early in the match.
