Yet somehow, it feels so long ago that it will barely get a mention as the co-hosts undertake the difficult task of self-appraisal after becoming the first team to be knocked out of the ICC T20 World Cup Super 8s. On Wednesday against New Zealand in Colombo, as on Sunday against England, and as last Thursday against Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka capitulated in such spectacular fashion that it was easy to forget they were playing on their own turf, and had a squad suitable for making a deep run in this tournament. But that’s exactly how it felt for the first third of Wednesday’s match before the Lankans were trounced by 61 runs to exit the tournament with a whimper. Having reduced the Kiwis – who were playing their first match of the tournament in the country and running cold after their match against Pakistan was washed out …

New Zealand have appointed Mitchell Santner as the new full-time captain in white-ball cricket and even though he has led the side on a stand-in basis in various assignments, this one will officially commence his leadership era and with an ICC assignment very close, the Kiwis will be keen to get their set pieces of the puzzle right. Sri Lanka have been terrific in the ODIs in 2024 but need some work to do in the T20Is. The ODI series victories also have come all at home and even though the islanders may not be playing the Champions Trophy, the ODI World Cup is something they will have their eyes …

A month after being picked by Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction, New Zealand’s Bevon Jacobs has earned his maiden international call-up for the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka. “It’s obviously an exciting time for Bevon and his family,” New Zealand Cricket (NZC) selector Sam Wells said. “He’s a promising player with a lot of talent and we’re looking forward to exposing him to international cricket. “He’s clearly got a lot of power with the bat, but he’s also shown in the longer formats that he has a decent technique and temperament.” Who is Bevon Jacobs? The 22-year-old was born in Pretoria in South Africa before his family emigrated to New Zealand when he was about three years old. He is an explosive middle-order batter who was one of the breakout stars of the 2023-24 Super Smash. He slotted in as a finisher for Canterbury Kings, hitting 134 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 188.73 – the second best after Doug Bracewell (202.02) among batters who had …
