The hatrick wonder boy is not included in the squad. Avisha should be axed as he has not performed recently. We cannot take chances by non performing batters or bowlers!!!!!!

Team selection Tuesday, 12 March 2024 04:32 PM

I simply can't understad the logic behind certain selection. The SLns are constantly complaining against the politicians for their ineptness but I don't see it any different anywhere in the country. That's the reason I strongly believe whoever comes to power nothing will improve in SL. People should be happy if things could remain stable ss it is. There's no doubt what so ever that Dhananjaya De Silva is definitely only a test player. Probably the reason why he is not in the ODI team as he is not an aggressive player ie., neither quick scorer nor a front line baller. But inexplicably he is in the even demanding T20I team and also opening the batting. I am sure there'll be comments to counter my argument to confirm exactly what I stated at the begining.

Why does the minister's approval required for a one day squad? Soon this may require President's approval. If NR by any chance ever get elected which is highly unlikely, he might include few females and boast " I don't discriminate sexuality".

I think Nuwan Thushara should have been in. Chamika is a waste in the squad as they have alrounders.

Not sure how/why Avishka and Chameera are still in the team after abysmal performances... Selectors wake up!
