Sri Lanka to take on India in carrom test series

Carrom Federation of Sri Lanka (CFSL) has announced the local contingent for the Indo-Sri Lanka Carrom Test Series which is to be worked off from April 16 to 20 in Sri Lanka. The tournament will include three test matches which are scheduled to be played at three different venues in Panadura, Maharagama and Colombo.

Sri Lanka will compete with eight-member team including four players in each men's and women's category.

The tournament has a history of more than 50 years as it continued to play biannually on a reciprocal basis in each country since 1957. Except for few years where the tournament was abandoned due to various reasons, the matches were played continuesly. The test matches between India and Sri Lanka have helped to develop the sport in both countries as it gave an opportunity to both Indian and local Slicers to compete and learn from each other while weighing their skills and dexterity. It is important for both countries to gauge their standard of play and impart and improve their knowledge of the game of carrom.

CFSL will host the test series this year and the Indian carrom team will arrive in Sri Lanka on April 15. Although these matches were scheduled to be played in March, CFSL compelled to postpone them to April on a request made by the Indian counterparts, the All India Carrom Federation.

The first match will be played on April 16 at the River View Hotel, Panadura and the second will be worked off at the CFSL head quarters, Maharagama on April 18. The final match will be held at the Colombo Hilton hotel on April 20. The matches will start at 3pm on all three days.

Sri Lankan men's team - Chamil Cooray, Nishantha Fernando, M.Sheriffdeen and Viraj Fernando.

Sri lankan women's team - Chalani Lakmali, Madushika Kanchanamala, Joseph Roshita, Yasika Rahubaddha
