Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews has questioned plans to introduce a points system for his side's upcoming tour of England.

The proposal is to aggregate the results of all the international fixtures this season between England and Sri Lanka.

"I don't like to move away from the traditional game but whatever the administrators decide we'll have to go with and move on," Mathews told reporters at Lord’s.

"We have to experience and see whether it's good or bad," added the 28-year-old all-rounder.

"I don't like to move away from the traditions of the game. I like the good old five days," he said.
