India’s High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Santosh Jha, hosts the Indian men’s cricket team at India House in Colombo ahead of the second Test of a two-match series against Sri Lanka. The event takes place on the eve of the match, with the team arriving at the high commission premises as preparations continue.

The sources describe the same occasion and timing, focusing on the diplomatic reception rather than on match details such as team selection, playing conditions, or scores from the first Test. While the reporting is limited to the hosting announcement, the broader context is that the second Test is scheduled for Thursday in Colombo, following the opening match of the series.
