India and Sri Lanka are set to renew their Test rivalry with a two-match series in August 2026, with both sides looking to collect crucial points in the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. The series marks India’s return to Sri Lanka for a Test assignment after a long gap, with the visitors last playing a red-ball series on the island in 2017. India won that series 3-0.

The contest is an important one for both teams in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, with Sri Lanka currently sixth in the standings and India occupying fifth place.

The action reaches its climax at the Stormont Cricket Ground in Belfast as Ireland hosts Afghanistan in the 5th and final One Day International (ODI). With Afghanistan having secured convincing victories in the earlier encounters to clinch the series lead, Paul Stirling’s Irish side enters this final match determined to salvage pride and finish their home summer on a triumphant note. Meanwhile, Rahmat Shah’s disciplined Afghan squad aims to maintain their clinical form and secure a decisive series conclusion before heading into upcoming international assignments.

Andre Russell against Romario Shepherd is the matchup that could swing this one; two bowling all-rounders capable of deciding a game in a single over either way. Rovman Powell’s form at the top adds a second layer entirely. Sabina Park hosts its first Caribbean Premier League cricket since 2019, and a brand-new Jamaica franchise gets to introduce itself on a ground with real history behind it, in front of a crowd that hasn’t seen this format live in years.

Narayan Jagadeesan leads a settled but shorthanded Super Gillies XI, while Balchander Anirudh captains a Panthers side that hasn’t lost a single game yet. That gap in results is the real story here. One team is unbeaten through three matches, the other is scrapping just to stay above the bottom two. Both teams are expected to name largely unchanged elevens, which makes this more a test of execution than selection guesswork, and it puts real pressure on the side that blinks first under that weight.

Nidhish Rajagopal and M Poiyamozhi are the two names standing between Salem and a fourth straight defeat, while R Vimal Khumar and P Bhuvaneswaran give Dindigul the firepower to finish the job. Salem sit at the bottom of the table without a single win in three matches. Dindigul aren’t flying either, seventh with one win from three, but they’ve already shown they can close out games Salem can’t. Match 18 at NPR College Ground pits a side scrapping for any kind of foothold against one that will fancy a routine two points.

Guyana Amazon Warriors kick off their much-awaited campaign in the 2026 Caribbean Premier League against the Jamaica Kingsmen at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Thursday, August 13.

The league stage of The Hundred Men’s 2026 has produced several outstanding batting performances, but three names have separated themselves from the rest of the pack. With all eight teams having completed their league fixtures, Mitchell Marsh, Tim Seifert and Ben Duckett occupy the top three positions on the run-scoring charts.

The league stage of The Hundred Men’s 2026 has reached its conclusion, and the playoff picture is now clear. After eight group-stage matches for each team, Trent Rockets have secured a direct place in the final, while Manchester Super Giants and Sunrisers Leeds have booked their spots in the Eliminator. MI London narrowly missed out despite finishing level on points with the two teams above them.
