Sri Lanka eyes World Test Championship final to lift spirits back home

The Hindu  

Coach Chris Silverwood said Sri Lanka would be doing its absolute best to qualify for the World Test Championship final during its two-match series in New Zealand to give the people back home something to cheer about. Sri Lanka, which is third in the WTC rankings behind already qualified Australia and India, will need to beat the reigning Test champion Black Caps 2-0 to have a chance of playing in June’s final at The Oval. India could take matters out of Sri Lankan hands with a win in its fourth Test against Australia next week but Silverwood said the team would be determined to take advantage of any slip-up to raise the spirits of an embattled nation. “To get to the WTC Final would be unbelievable, but at the same time we know we’ve got a very good New Zealand team in front of us as well and we have to respect that, work hard, and try and earn that right.” Sri Lanka is grappling with its worst economic crisis since gaining independence from Britain in 1948, beset by inflation, a shortage of foreign exchange, a plummeting currency and a steep recession.
