    Expect the status quo in the second New Zealand-Sri Lanka test at Colombo

    Expect the status quo in the second New Zealand-Sri Lanka test at Colombo


    Three specialist spinners could again be included in the Black Caps XI.

    26 of 36 wickets fell to turn in the most recent test of October 2017 at the venue.

    The last August test at the ground in 2015 saw 22 of 38 dismissals come in that fashion.

    New Zealand coach Gary Stead outlines his expectations.

    New Zealand tennis player Artem Sitak disagrees with the United States governing body's decision to prevent appointing umpire Carlos Ramos for any of Serena Williams' matches at the US Open.

    Williams remonstrated with Ramos in last year's final, a move triggered by a warning for receiving a coaching signal from the stands.

    Sitak says preferential treatment should be avoided.

    A potential Olympic medal has lured four Super Rugby players away from their franchises.

    Blues wing Caleb Clarke, Chiefs outside back Etene Nanai-Seturo, Hurricanes wing Salesi Rayasi and Highlanders midfielder Scott Gregory will switch to the abbreviated format for the Tokyo Games.
