India's men's cricket team, led by Shubman Gill, has arrived in Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series starting August 15, part of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship. The series will be played in Galle and Colombo, preceded by a three-day warm-up match against a Sri Lanka XI. India faces a setback with Jasprit Bumrah ruled out due to a knee injury, replaced by debutant Auqib Nabi. The series is crucial for both teams' WTC standings and features spin-friendly conditions challenging India's batting.
