Pathum Nissanka set for Lord’s return
Pathum Nissanka’s potential return to Test cricket, especially at Lord’s, is exciting news for Sri Lankan fans. His impressive form in white-ball cricket this year suggests he’s in good touch, making him a strong contender for the second Test. Given that he hasn’t played a Test match in two years, this opportunity could be pivotal for him.
Nishan Madushka might be the one to step aside to accommodate Nissanka, although Kusal Mendis’s position is also under scrutiny. However, Mendis might retain his spot if Dinesh Chandimal is not fit enough to keep wickets, highlighting the selectors’ dilemma in balancing the team composition.
This decision underscores the importance of Nissanka’s return and the selectors’ faith in his ability to perform in the longer format.
