Sri Lanka will play just 25 Tests as part of the new Future Tours Programme (FTP) that was released by the International Cricket Council today, with a majority of their 131 matches in the next four-year cycle coming in the 50-over format.

Sri Lanka perhaps as a nation has hit new lows during the last few years with its economy crumbling down like a house of cards. From changing cabinets on a monthly basis to huge queues for fuel and gas in recent months, the island once called the pearl of the Indian Ocean has become one of the most unstable countries in the world.
