Now, taking inspiration from South Africa’s triumph at Lord’s, the Sri Lanka skipper is eyeing a similar victory for his side in the new World Test Championship cycle. Skipper de Silva is rallying his side to take inspiration from the Proteas' ICC World Test Championship 2025 Final triumph as Sri Lanka brace for the start of the next WTC cycle.
