Test Twenty, the world's first mixed-gender cricket tournament, was launched in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The launch event was attended by legendary Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden, former Sri Lankan cricketer Russel Arnold, and Virat Kohli's childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma, setting the stage for a 10-match inaugural season that runs from 14 to 29 November 2026.

Ahead of the tournament, Hayden said that the Test Twenty offers players more opportunities and time to develop their skills.
