Afghanistan register commanding 62-run win over Sri Lanka
Afghanistan registered a comfortable 62-run win over Sri Lanka in the 3rd match of the U-19 Tri-Series worked off on Wednesday (22) at Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi.
The Afghan skipper won the toss and elected to bat. They were off to a shaky start and were reduced to 93 for 4.
A 135-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Haroon Khan and Khalid Taniwal regained momentum towards them. Haroon Khan was the anchor of the partnership top scoring with 88 runs off just 57 balls, while Khalid Taniwal contributed with a watchful 45 runs to put the host into a strong position.
At one stage it looked like the Afghans would settle for a score between 250-260, but a late surge by Kamran Hotak with a quick-fire 43 off 33 deliveries helped them reach a competitive total of 298 runs before being all out in 49.2 overs.
Duvindu Ranatunga (4-51) and Dinura Kalupahana (3-13) were the picks of the bowlers for Sri Lanka, taking four and three wickets respectively.
In reply, the islanders were off to a similar start losing half of their top order cheaply. With the scoreboard reading 150-8, it looked like the young Afghan team was on their way to a commanding victory. Still, Duvindu Ranathunga and Traveen Mathew had other plans as they put on a 74-run partnership for the 9th wicket to frustrate the Afghan bowlers. However, their efforts were too little too late to take the team over the line.
Sineth Jayawardena (41) and Vishwa Rajapaksha (45) also contributed with useful knocks from the top order.
Kamran Hotak was the architect of Sri Lanka’s collapse as he ended up with figures of 4-29.

ICC Team to Visit Sri Lanka Amid Cricket Administration Shake-Up
A delegation from the International Cricket Council (ICC), including a senior representative linked to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is scheduled to arrive in Sri Lanka this weekend as attention grows over recent changes to the country’s cricket administration.
According to India’s Press Trust of India (PTI), ICC Deputy Chairman Imran Khwaja is expected in Colombo on Friday night, with another top ICC official who also serves in a leading capacity within the BCCI due to arrive on Saturday.
The visit comes in the wake of the Sri Lankan government’s decision to appoint an interim committee to manage the affairs of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) following the resignation of its leadership.
Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage confirmed during a televised interview that discussions with ICC representatives are expected to take place in the coming days regarding the future direction of cricket administration in the country.
The newly appointed nine-member interim body was established on April 29 after SLC President Shammi Silva and members of the Executive Committee stepped down from office.
Government officials say the temporary panel will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day cricket operations, introducing administrative reforms, and preparing the groundwork for fresh elections within Sri Lanka Cricket.
The ICC visit is expected to focus on governance issues, the transition process, and the stability of cricket administration during the interim period.

RCB Bring in Gleeson After Thushara Exit; CSK Add Kuldip as Injury Cover
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have roped in experienced England pacer Richard Gleeson as a replacement for Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Thushara ahead of the IPL 2026 Knockouts.
Thushara was unable to join the Bengaluru franchise after failing to secure a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sri Lanka Cricket. The board reportedly withheld approval because the pacer did not meet the required fitness benchmarks set by the national setup.
RCB have signed Gleeson for INR 1.6 crore. The 38-year-old seamer brings previous IPL experience, having represented both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in recent seasons. Gleeson featured in two matches for Chennai in 2024 and made a single appearance for Mumbai in the 2025 campaign. He has also represented England in nine T20 Internationals.
Thushara, who was bought by RCB for the same amount in 2025, played one game during the franchise’s championship-winning run last season. Despite being retained for IPL 2026, his participation was blocked after the NOC issue emerged.
The Sri Lankan quick had initially taken legal action against the cricket board regarding the matter, but later withdrew the case and issued a written apology. Court documents reportedly indicated that Thushara had considered stepping away from international cricket, although no final decision on his future has yet been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings have announced Indian pacer Kuldip Yadav as a replacement for injured left-arm fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed.
Khaleel’s season was cut short after he suffered a right quadricep injury during Chennai’s clash against Kolkata Knight Riders. Before the setback, he had claimed two wickets in five appearances while maintaining an economy rate of 8.67.
Kuldip, a right-arm pacer, previously represented Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, making three appearances across the 2021 and 2023 seasons. Chennai have secured his services for INR 30 lakh.
