India heads back to Sri Lanka after a nine-year gap, kicking off a two-Test series at the Galle International Cricket Stadium on August 15, 2026.
Both matches count toward the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, where India currently sit fifth in the table with 52 points and a points percentage of 48.15 from nine Tests so far.
Shubman Gill takes charge as captain, though his build-up hasn't been entirely smooth. He picked up a finger injury during a training session in Colombo and had to sit out part of the warm-up match as a result.
He's since returned to batting and looked more than ready heading into the opener, with reports suggesting he'll slot in at number four.
Jasprit ****** rah, India's premier pace bowler, is out of the entire tour with an injury, which is a significant blow given his usual impact with the ball.
