In a shocking piece of revelation, Al Jazeera has claimed that last year’s Indian cricket team vs Sri Lanka Test at Galle and Australia-Sri Lanka Test at the same venue (2016) were fixed. An effort has also been made to fix Sri Lanka-England Galle Test scheduled to be played in November this year. While Sri Lanka scored 281 and 237 in their two innings, Australia could only muster 106 and 183 in their outings. The second match in question, the India-Sri Lanka Test of 2017, saw huge first innings total of 600 put up by the visiting batsmen. Reacting on the outcome of this match, Indika said that he had instructions from the fixers to prepare a pitch for batsmen.
