The cricket calendar has become more jam-packed in recent years, with teams often facing off with gaps of just one day or sometimes, even on consecutive days. A recent example would be the final two T20 Internationals in the series between England and India. India captain Rohit Sharma has said that a way to better manage scheduling would be the return of tri-series or quadrangular series, so all teams get more rest days and can, as a result, play with more intensity when they do have matches.
The first Test match between Sri Lanka vs Pakistan kicked off at the Galle International Stadium on Saturday.

While walking down the stairs of the stadium to reach to the ground, Babar could also be seen wearing his sunglasses.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam won a lot of praise after he tweeted in support of Virat Kohli, saying "this too shall pass". Kohli has been going through a slump in form and he has failed to get going in the ongoing series against England. In the second ODI at Lord's, the right-handed batter edged a delivery well outside off-stump and hence he lost his wicket. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has also given his take on Babar supporting Kohli, saying the latter should have responded by now.
New Zealand on Friday defeated Ireland in a last-ball thriller in the third ODI at The Village, Dublin. With the win, the Blackcaps whitewashed the hosts 3-0 in the series. The last match that went down the wire saw New Zealand winning it by a margin of one run. Though Ireland eventually lost the match, they put up an amazing fight in chase of a 361-run target set by the guests. They almost won the match, needing 10 runs off the final over but New Zealand's Blair Tickner held his nerves well to bag the match for his side.
