With many senior players who were not included in the Indian T20 squad, it is unlikely that the Indian team will be well prepared to face the first one-day match that will start today (10).

The first one-day match between the two countries is scheduled to start at 1.30 local time and will begin in Guwahati.

This is the first one-day tournament that the Sri Lankan team will participate in this year after they managed to tie the one-day series with Afghanistan 1-1 last year. With the bitter defeat in the T20 series, there is a belief that the Sri Lankan team will enter this series in a good mood.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Lokesh Sharma, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Sriraj, and Jasprit Bumrah, who were rested in the T20 series, have been invited for this ODI series. It can be a somewhat stressful situation for Sri Lankan bowlers.

The country’s cricket board has decided to remove Jasprit Bumrah, who was selected for the ODI squad, from this tournament. It was announced yesterday (9).

162 ODIs have been played between Sri Lanka and India, of which India has won 93 matches and Sri Lanka has won 57 matches. 11 matches ended in a draw and one match ended with no results.

India managed to win four of the last 5 ODIs played by Sri Lanka and India, while Sri Lanka managed to win one match.

Dasun Shanaka has been entrusted with the responsibility of leading the Sri Lankan team. You will be able to see many changes in the first match of the Sri Lankan team, which will join this tournament with many new players.

Nuwan Thushara Moves Court Over IPL 2026 NOC Dispute

Published

By

Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Thushara has initiated legal action against Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), seeking court intervention to secure a No Objection Certificate (NOC) that would allow him to participate in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL).

The matter was taken up before the Colombo District Court, which has scheduled the next hearing for April 9. Thushara has named several top SLC officials as defendants, including President Shammi Silva, Secretary Bandula Dissanayake, Treasurer Sujeewa Godaliyadda, and CEO Ashley de Silva.

According to court filings, Thushara was picked by Royal Challengers for the 2026 IPL season, having previously featured in the tournament in both 2024 and 2025 after receiving the necessary clearance from SLC. However, the board has declined to issue the NOC this year, citing his failure to meet required fitness standards.

Thushara, in his petition, has challenged this decision, stating that his contract with SLC expired on March 31, 2026, and that he had already informed the board of his intention not to renew it. He further claims he had been made aware that he was not in contention for national selection, making the fitness-based refusal unreasonable.

The pacer has also argued that his current fitness levels are consistent with those maintained during previous seasons when he was granted NOCs. He warns that the denial could cost him his IPL contract, resulting in significant financial loss and missed career opportunities.
Through the case, Thushara is seeking legal recognition of his right to obtain the NOC, along with court orders compelling SLC to grant him clearance to play in the IPL and other overseas leagues.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa sends legal notice to actress Harshi Rasanga over gold chain dispute

Published

By

Sri Lanka cricketer Bhanuka Rajapaksa has issued a Letter of Demand (LOD) to actress Harshi Rasanga, accusing her of making false and misleading statements on social media following recent court proceedings.

According to Rajapaksa’s legal representatives, the actress had informed court that the gold chain at the center of the dispute had been pawned. However, they claim she later contradicted this statement publicly, prompting the cricketer to initiate legal action.

The controversy revolves around a gold chain valued at over Rs. 900,000. Rajapaksa alleges that the chain had been borrowed by Rasanga and pawned without his knowledge or consent.
Rasanga was arrested by the Sri Lanka Police’s Thalangama division and later produced before the Kaduwela Magistrate’s Court, where she was granted bail on two sureties of Rs. 500,000 each.

During the court hearing, the defence stated that the chain had indeed been pawned and indicated that steps could be taken to redeem and return it. However, speaking to the media afterward, Rasanga claimed that the chain had been given to her as a gift during a personal relationship.

The court has directed Thalangama Police to take custody of the gold chain and present it at the next hearing, which is scheduled for April 22.
