Team India is set to clash against Sri Lanka in the two-match Test series. The first match is scheduled to be played from August 15 at the Galle International Cricket Stadium near Galle Fort.

A few days before he was recalled to India's Test squad, Sarfaraz Khan wrote on his official social media handle that, "I may not fit in, but I'll fight with everything I've got".
