Explanation

Sri Lanka played their first Test match in 1982, making them the eighth Test-playing nation. The match was against England at Colombo (February 17-22, 1982). Sri Lanka had gained ICC membership in 1981, leading to their Test status a year later. The other dates are incorrect: 1979 is too early, 1983 and 1987 are later.
