Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews has said that Sri Lanka should not take part in Test series consisting of only a single match against any nation.
Mathews made the remarks in a post shared on X following media reports suggesting that England is considering playing only one Test match during its future tours of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh after 2027.
In his statement, the former Sri Lankan skipper stressed that all Test-playing nations should be treated equally and questioned the imbalance in the number of matches played by teams during the World Test Championship cycle.
“We should not play one off test with anyone! If any country doesn’t want to play more than one so be it! There’s nothing called bigger nations and test status is equal to all test playing nations .You can’t have 1 team playing 20 games and another playing 10 games in the same championship cycle! Generating revenue and keeping test cricket alive is two different things and you should not mix up the two !” Mathews said.
