IND vs SL Test Series 2022: Full schedule, squads, match timings, telecast and live streaming details

India and Sri Lanka will lock horns in a two-match Test series, starting on March 4, Friday at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali and the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

These two Tests will be a part of the World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium will host the day-night encounter for the first time in the longest format of the game.

Rohit Sharma will captain Team India for the first time in the Test format. Virat Kohli stepped down as captain after losing to South Africa in the Rainbow Nation 2-1. The Rohit Sharma-led squad will aim to turn the tables and dominate the Lankan Lions to aim for a better spot in the World Test Championship points table.

Sri Lanka are entering this encounter after defeating West Indies in the Caribbean Islands in Tests 2-0 in the two-match series in November and December of 2021.

The Lankan Lions will be aiming for a similar performance against a stronger outfit this time around. Unfortunately, a few in-form players from that series will miss this two-match series against Sri Lanka.
