groovy.lang.MissingMethodException while trying to pass a closure as a parameter

I am new to groovy and am trying to pass a closure as a parameter to a method , below is my code , I am using Groovy 2.4

class Test
{
    def testMethod()
    {
        def cl = {a,b -> println "a = "+${a}+" b = "+${b}}
        testClosure(cl);
    }

    def testClosure(closure)
    {
        closure(5,2);
    }
}

I am getting the below exception when i am trying to execute it ,

Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: 
   com.gr.practice.Test.$() is applicable for argument types:
   (com.gr.practice.Test$_testMethod_closure1$_closure2) values:
   [com.gr.practice.Test$_testMethod_closure1$_closure2@3e92efc3]
Possible solutions: 
   is(java.lang.Object), 
   any(),
   any(groovy.lang.Closure),
   use([Ljava.lang.Object;),
   wait(), 
   dump()

Your problem is println "a = "+${a}+" b = "+${b}. You probably want this:

println "a = ${a} b = ${b}"

Or:

println "a = " + a + " b = " + b

(the former is a better idea)
