The West Indies secured the toss. They chose to bowl first in the opening Test against Sri Lanka at the historic stadium. This match starts the prestigious Sobers-Tissera Trophy series, but unfortunately for the captain, he left early with a hurt shoulder. He went off the field right away. A replacement batsman came in to bat instead. The skipper is sidelined now. Both sides want a strong start as the series begins. Many fans in the Caribbean and South Asia are watching the action closely today.
