The ECB has announced that a test match will be played between England and Zimbabwe next year. If it actually happens, then it will be the first test match between the two sides since 2003. The match will be played from 28th to 31st May 2025, but the venue is not yet finalized. Both the teams have played 6 matches against each other, with two matches each being played in 1996, 2000 and 2003. England will also be hosting India in 2005, for a five-match test series. They will also be hosting the World Test Championship final in the same year.
Afghanistan team bowled very well in two T20 matches against Sri Lanka team due to which they won two T20 matches against Sri Lanka. But the batting failure of the Afghanistan team again in the test match. Afghanistan could have batted responsibly against this Sri Lankan team,
Afghanistan A disappointed with their very lower performance in the Test match against Sri Lanka A. On the other hand, players belongs to Sri Lanka A, are good in batting and bowling. That's why Sri Lanka A made huge amount of runs 435, which indicates the bowling failure level of Pakistan A team. Besides Pakistan A also fail in batting too. They just made average 200 runs in each innings Where Sri Lanka A already did more runs in one innings even Sonal Dinusha made 145 runs which was epic and afterwards they didn't need to bat in 2nd innings. Afghanistan A bowlers aren't bad at all but in test match, Sri Lanka A batsmen just destroyed Afghan bowlers and add another archive in their cricket History.

Here can be the two reasons first the batting line of the Afghanistan was weak and the second is the bowling line of Sri Lanka A team was strong. Basically when Sri Lanka A made 400+ runs so this make a little pressure on Afghanistan A team and Sri Lanka A team took advantage from this. And they increased the pressure level on Afghanistan A team. Just due to this pressure the Afghanistan A team's players got out earlier in the first inning. When all team got out. And than Afghanistan A started follow on but unfortunately they didn't well again and they lost the match. I hope Afghanistan A will perform well in the upcoming future matches.

Sri Lanka A team did well in last T20 series and Afghanistan A team anyhow won the last two match. And afterwards this Test match started. And Sri Lanka A once again proved their legacy, how perfect they are in batting and batting. They became more dedicated in test format. I mean look at their scored! 435 runs were made which is huge where Sonal Dinusha alone made 165 runs. While Afghanistan A team played 2 inngins and did 198/10 and 211/10 runs. I must say Nisala Tharaka and Wanuja Sahan Kumara just made dangerous Bowl. And Even after both inngins runs, they made total 409 runs something and Sri Lanka A just won the match. Not only that. They won by an innings and 26 runs.
Afghanistan team bowled very well in two T20 matches against Sri Lanka team due to which they won two T20 matches against Sri Lanka. But the batting failure of the Afghanistan team again in the test match. Afghanistan could have batted responsibly against this Sri Lankan team, of course the game would have been competitive if they had not won the Test match. However, if you look at the score of the Sri Lankan team, it is clear that how responsible the Sri Lankan team is, they won the test match because of their responsible batting.
Sunrise Hyderabad team was very likely to win this match, because of their aggressive batting and number of bowlers whose performance is always on the up. So they performed well in the last matches and the margin of victory was the highest thus securing the qualifier match by occupying the third place in the points table. Today's match was closed due to rain because we didn't get a chance to even give the toss, water was accumulated inside the field so it could not create a playing environment. Even if the Gujarat Titans team could have won this match today, they still had no benefit.

Their batsmen did not showed good effort and also not played well in test game. If they did they could have won the match. Because Sri Lanka batsmen have scored so much. They have also work hard and struggle. When I was watching this match. I thought Afghanistan would win the match. But I was wrong. Sri Lanka did not let their hard work go to waste and bowled well to win the match. Gas did not win a test match against them. I was very sad when Afghanistan lost this match. Yes his team has worked hard. If Afghanistan could have achieved the target they could have won the match.Yes if they are obsessed with winning, they will automatically perform well. Because then they will be interested in the match and will make good runs and stop the runs and win the match. If they continue like this, they will lose that match too. will They have already had 1 series in which Afghanistan lost.
Interesting thing is that Sri Lanka A made much higher score and Afghanistan A didn't touch the score with their two innings which was quite disappointing. Afghanistan A made a great comeback in the ODI series in the last two match. Which was showing that Afghanistan A can give surprise in the test match but they didn't give surprise but they shocked us. Afghanistan A need to focus on the mistakes and they should fix them to perform well in future. Afghanistan A has some good players who can change the situation of the match. They just need more practice. I hope they will do well in future.Their batsmen did not showed good effort and also not played well in test game. If they did they could have won the match.

Most of the Afghani players are not interested into red ball format which is hurting them with in recent time we have good development into their game but still things are not as they needed to be so they are facing humiliating defeats in official test matches and now in unofficial test match which was against Sri Lanka which score good runs into their first inning and then bowled Afghanistan in both inning very quickly which give them thumbing defeat.
In this game we have only three batsmen which passed the fifty runs and try to resist with mostly were bowled out quickly because they are familiar with T20i and ODI which is currently their favourite formats, and they are doing good in these both formats Sri Lanka bowlers bowled out Afghanistan batsmen in just 130 overs which is really concern for them if they want to do something good they have to do some better things in future at the domestic level.
Afghanistan A team struggles in Test cricket are worrying despite some progress in their game. They were looking uninterested in longer format which has led to heavy losses in official and unofficial matches including recent defeat by Sri Lanka. Only three batsmen scored over 50 runs and they were quickly dismissed showing their reliance on shorter formats like T20 and ODI. To succeed in Test cricket Afghanistan needs to improve their skills in longer format tol. Sri Lanka bowlers dismissing their batsmen in just 130 overs is a warning sign. To improve Afghanistan needs to focus on developing their domestic cricket and valuing Test cricket more.In this game we have only three batsmen which passed the fifty runs and try to resist with mostly were bowled out quickly because they are familiar with T20i and ODI which is currently their favourite formats, and they are doing good in these both formats Sri Lanka bowlers bowled out Afghanistan batsmen in just 130 overs which is really concern for them if they want to do something good they have to do some better things in future at the domestic level.
When a team loses by an innings he is forced to point fingers against that team. It was really embarrassing for Afghanistan that the Afghanistan team miserably lost the test match against Sri Lanka.

Did you see the bowling of Wanuja Sahan. If Afghanistan A has Zia-ur-Rehman so the Sri Lanka A has Wanuja Sahan. He collected 5 wickets in the first inning. And now Afghanistan is on following on. And they made 306 runs in both innings and still playing the second inning. And the match stumps at 108/2. Afghanistan A still has the trial of 129. I am looking that Sri Lanka will win this test match with out playing the second inning. And if they will play the second inning so I hope they have only a minor target. And they will chase that target easily and will win the match easily. It means that Sri Lanka has 80% chances of winning.
Wanuja Sahan bowled amazingly well. Who took 5 wickets in the first innings. Afghanistan A is now at tough spot. With match currently at 108/2 Afghanistan A still needs 129 runs to catch up and we know that this is the second inning of the match. I also think Sri Lanka A has a strong hold on this match and will likely win without even needing to bat again. Even if they do I also think they will have a small target to chase which they'll easily achieve. Sri Lanka A has a very good chance of winning this match and Wanuja Sahan great bowling has made a big difference. So let's wait for today and let's see what will happen.Afghanistan already get very few opportunities to play Tests so they should organize more Test series so that the players are good enough in Test cricket.

Sri lanka A team scored 435 runs in first innings while Afghanistan A team made only 198 and then follow on and Now in second innings Afg A team make 108/2 and Day 3 stumps off. Imran with 51 runs and ijaz ahmad with 23 runs on the crease and they will start morning session of 4th day they had 8 wickets in hand now and trail by 129 runs. Sri lanka A team surely won this match because its very difficult for Afghanistan to gave a big target to sri Sri lanka. First of all Afg a team need to play fast and save his wickets to avoid test draw and gave a target if they can but its impossible for them to play big innings on last day. sri lanka a team bowling very well and now they shoud need to takes remaining wickets on Day 4 to won this match early
After completing the T20I series today 1 st unofficial test series game was ended between Sri Lanka A team and Afghanistan A team. In 1 st Inning of Sri Lanka A was enough for win and Afghanistan a team did chased 436 runs target which was made in only 1 st Inning. S.Dinusha batsman deserved a player of award due to his brilliant bat effort and he made 145 runs in 193 balls and he hitted sixteen 4s. In 1 st Inning of Afghanistan a team, their players chased down 198 runs and remaining 237 runs trail for 2 nd Inning. Imran played good and he scored 62 runs in 114 balls and hitted ten 4s. In 2 nd inning, again Afghanistan a team did not perform well and quickly lost wickets with low runs and remaining 237 runs for chased but Afghanistan a team entire team was wiped for 211 runs. N.Tharaka tool down 6 wickets in 11.3 oners with 42 rujs this was 2 nd inning effect of Tharaka and in 1 st Inning, he bowled out 0 but showed outstanding effort for team to win. 
If the performance of a team is evaluated then the prediction is done. All the Sri Lanka batsmen will be out. If they were calm and played with each other the target could have been higher. Afghanistan batsmen are also playing well. Now let see if they can win the match because they have lost 2 wickets so far. The way Afghanistan is play proves to me that Afghanistan will win this series. Because their performance is looking good. If the Sri Lanka bowlers bowl well, they can lose the match due to pressure. The result will be known only at the end. But according to my prediction Afghanistan will win the match.If Afghanistan goes under any pressure then Sri Lanka can take their names. Because if 2 3 wickets are taken then Afghanistan batsmen can go for poor performance and it is very beneficial for Sri Lanka.
Your idea about the Afghanistan A team is not correct at all because the Afghanistan A team has already been defeated by the SriLanka A team by an innings and 26 runs in the Test match. We saw in the first Test match between these two teams that Afghanistan A batted and they scored only 198 runs. These runs are very limited for the Test format, which SriLanka A easily overcame and they scored 435, which was difficult for Afghanistan A to overcome.Afghanistan A team scored 198 runs in the first innings and were bowled out for just 211 runs in the second innings which resulted in their humiliating defeat in this Test match. When Afghanistan were batting in the second innings, Nisala Tharaka of the SriLankan A team became the most dangerous against them. Nisala Tharaka took incredible six wickets with 42 runs in just 11.3 overs as Afghanistan's A batting line-up failed completely in her hands.
In this game we have only three batsmen which passed the fifty runs and try to resist with mostly were bowled out quickly because they are familiar with T20i and ODI which is currently their favourite formats, and they are doing good in these both formats Sri Lanka bowlers bowled out Afghanistan batsmen in just 130 overs which is really concern for them if they want to do something good they have to do some better things in future at the domestic level.
Yes you are right. Sri Lanka A struggled very well to reach out this big score and gave and excellent target to Afghanistan A team. We know that Sonal Dinusha contributed well to make 435 runs. After him Vishad Randika 63 runs and Nisala Tharaka was also good who made 75 runs.
If we talk about the bowling of the Afghanistan A team. So we all will really appreciate the one person who is Zia-ur-Rehman who collected 6 wickets in first inning. Now the Afghanistan A is playing its turn. But they don't have a good start. They made only 18 runs and have lost one wicket. So this can make a pressure on them. So let's see what will happen today.
I really appreciate the bowling of Zia-ur-Rehman. Collection of 6 wickets in a single inning is a good achievement. But Afghanistan bowlers didn't able to stop the Sri Lankan players from making a big score. And you said this can make pressure I think Sri Lanka already made a pressure on them. And just due to this Afghanistan has lost one wicket. And I don't think so that Afghanistan A will give any lead to Sri Lanka A team because Target is very high. By the way Cricket is unpredictable so we can't say any thing so let's wait and let's see what the Afghanistan will do today.If we talk about the bowling of the Afghanistan A team.

He's a legend and we won't witness this sort of longevity from any fast bowlers but IMO he should've retired during the last Ashes. He was a big disappointment in the Ashes and that too on home turf.
The Indian tour wasn't good either and felt like a big letdown. Against 2 strong opponents (Aus and Ind), he picked only 15 wickets in the last 8 matches.
The Indian tour wasn't good either and felt like a big letdown. Against 2 strong opponents (Aus and Ind), he picked only 15 wickets in the last 8 matches.
He restricted himself to test format only as he played his last ODI in 2015 and last T20I in 2009. I think he recognizes that he is no more suitable for international cricket and its right time to leave cricket before selectors dropped him for the squad. His last 2 tours might not be big success but he has a 21 years career that is full of success. Let's give him a good farewell on his retirement.
Anderson was good with his bowling before the last two series you have mentioned. Usually, player doesn't take the retirement until they loss their confidence. I think Anderson has lost his confidence a little after his performance in those series. The age has a good impact here, and now he realized that his era has ended. Hopefully his final performance would be something to remember.
I guess, both him and the management accepting the realities. England's test planning revolves around the Ashes only and it plays a major role in their team selection. Management finally realized that Anderson won't feature in the next Ashes, which is scheduled in 2025 and they need to fill the gap by giving chances to other seamers and try out all the seaming options.
Did you see the bowling of Wanuja Sahan. If Afghanistan A has Zia-ur-Rehman so the Sri Lanka A has Wanuja Sahan. He collected 5 wickets in the first inning. And now Afghanistan is on following on. And they made 306 runs in both innings and still playing the second inning. And the match stumps at 108/2. Afghanistan A still has the trial of 129. I am looking that Sri Lanka will win this test match with out playing the second inning. And if they will play the second inning so I hope they have only a minor target. And they will chase that target easily and will win the match easily. It means that Sri Lanka has 80% chances of winning.
Wanuja Sahan bowled amazingly well. Who took 5 wickets in the first innings. Afghanistan A is now at tough spot. With match currently at 108/2 Afghanistan A still needs 129 runs to catch up and we know that this is the second inning of the match. I also think Sri Lanka A has a strong hold on this match and will likely win without even needing to bat again. Even if they do I also think they will have a small target to chase which they'll easily achieve. Sri Lanka A has a very good chance of winning this match and Wanuja Sahan great bowling has made a big difference. So let's wait for today and let's see what will happen. Jump to:
