I am looking forward to joining you all to watch England touring Sri Lanka in March next year.

This will be a big test for the England players as you only become the best team in the world if you can beat teams like Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India at their home ground. It will be an interesting two match series to see how the England batsmen cope with the Sri Lankan spinners, as on paper England should start off as favourites.

As we can see Pakistan have beaten Sri Lanka quite easily in the UAE. England's tour to the United Arab Emirates to play Pakistan in January is going to be a tough test for them, as it's like a home game for Pakistan. There is some great cricket to look forward to this winter.

Sri Lanka is a wonderful country with such fabulous scenery and culture to explore. Lindsay and I look forward to hosting you on this memorable trip.

Allan Lamb

 

Allan Lamb was born in the Cape Province in South Africa. As his home country was banished from the international cricket scene, in 1977 he decided to further his cricket career by moving to England, where his parents were born. Allan Lamb made his Test debut against India in 1982 and eventually represented England in 79 Tests and 122 one-day internationals. A mainstay of the England middle order during the 1980s and early 90s, the former Northamptonshire man had a particularly good record against the formidable West Indian pace attack. In one summer in 1984 against the likes of Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding he made three centuries, even though England lost the series 5-0. Lamb, who ended his career with 4,656 runs, is also one of the few England players to know what it's like to beat Australia - twice. He was part of the team that defeated the Aussies at home in 1985 and on the tour of 1986/87.
