Angelo Mathews will retire from Test cricket after the first Test against Bangladesh in Galle, starting on June 17.

Lahore Qalandars 149 for 8 (Zaman 60, Daniyal 2 for 22) beat Peshawar Zalmi 123 for 8 (Sams 26*, Mirza 4 for 31) by 26 runsFakhar Zaman's 60 off 36 set up the game for Lahore Qalandars, before Salman Mirza's 4 for 31 sealed a rain-reduced 13-over encounter in Rawalpindi. Peshawar Zalmi were guilty of overall sloppiness.
