Angelo Mathews declared fit for India tour

The first Test match is scheduled to take place on November 16 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Former skipper Angelo Mathews has been declared fit for the full pledged tour.

The 30-year-old has spent most of the time in last 12 months on the sidelines with calf injuries.

But, he will be welcomed back in the Sri Lankan set-up after their recent struggles in limited-over contest.

Sri Lanka have lost 16 white-ball matches including whitewash against India and Pakistan.

They will look to turn things around when they visit India for 3 Tests, 3 ODI’s and as many T20’s.

Along with Mathews, Kusal Perera and Asela Gunaratne are expected to return in the squad for India series.

Sri Lanka cricket has received a much needed boost ahead of their tour to India later this month.
