Some moments from the England Lions vs Pakistan Shaheens T20 series!
Almost a quiet sense of "mission accomplished"; calling matches at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, with all 3 international stadiums in the UAE now covered π .
Think I'm ready to come home now π
Calling an England Lions match while fasting and their 3 fast bowlers have these surnames; Baker, Cook and Currie!
So far they've had the perfect recipe (pun intended) to go 2 nil up again Pakistan Shaheens in the T20 series.
Iβve called many domestic matches at Pallekele and watched several from the stands too, but never have I wanted to be there as much as tonight. These are the nights that become etched in your memory. How much weβve missed this brand of cricket from Sri Lanka! π±π° #T20WorldCup2026
Before the #SLvENG T20s begin, shifting attention to the (temporary but) 2nd home team as they prep for the WC, taking on the visiting Irishmen.. Looking forward to calling this game at the ring of fire.. tune in!
Pavan dug in like Root did but someone had to replicate the Brook innings. You look at SLs middle order and wonder who could shift gears like that. A line up filled with grafters; why we always fall flat on flat wickets even after good starts!

So many positive talking points from yesterday's game but for now, kudos to the DJ for playing backstreet boys at a cricket match π #IWantItThatWay#SLvENG
Im so annoyed. Janith has been brilliant in crisis situations before and he should've been the all rounder to play today. Not someone who bats against Abrar like Shane Warne is bowling to him.
Still don't like the idea of having 2 slingers in the 11. Love Pathirana, but he needs more time. Thushara provides control and thats what you need against quality opposition. I'd rather play Dunith as the 2nd spinner. Gives you variety and an extra batting option. #AsiaCup
Been a fantastic couple of weeks at the @ILT20Official Development Tournament. Probably THE MOST competitive local tourney I've covered. Such a great platform and opportunity for the 100s of talented domestic cricketers here in the UAE!
