This is not a blip: Sri Lankan game is in a mess Source:-thetimes.co.uk After a moment of high comedy during Sri Lanka’s innings at Durham, when the running between the wickets resembled a Laurel and Hardy slapstick routine, the cameras panned to Mickey Arthur. Hands on hips, lips curled, Sri Lanka’s coach looked momentarily like a temping schoolteacher put in charge of a class he did not recognise nor could control. Another fine mess, he seemed to be thinking, or, to put it more bluntly, in today’s lingo: “WTAF?” In mid-innings confusion during the first ODI against England, Chamika Karunaratne and Binura Fernando, two wet-behind-the-ears internationals, found themselves at the same end. A bullet throw from Liam Livingstone in the deep burst through Jonny Bairstow’s gloves, to give rise to a rush to see who could win the scramble to the non-striker’s end first. It was just one snapshot of a ...

SRI LANKA CRICKET NEWS (JUNE 2021) Compiled by Victor Melder Following a tense meeting held at the Taj Samudra Hotel, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Officials and the national team have reached a favourable decision, ahead of the England series. The players had reportedly agreed to sign the tour declaration and participate in the T20 series to be held in England. Sri Lanka’s tour of England was cast into serious jeopardy after the players expected to be selected refused to sign the tour contracts offered by Sri Lanka Cricket. This was a part of the men’s cricketers’ ‘larger resistance to LSC’s new annual contracts scheme’, which they believed lacks transparency and does not adequately compensate senior players. Nearly 38 players, including Captain Kusal Janith Perera signed a statement refusing to sign the tour contract, on the grounds that there were problems with the transparency of the ratings system devised by ...

Sri Lanka cricket and bringing back its past glory- Rev. Bro. Nimal Gurusinghe F.S.C. Source:Dailynews It is evident that our standard of cricket is very low. Those in authority do not know how to bring back or regain our past glory. If office bearers are constantly being changed then Sri Lanka Cricket will automatically suffer and deteriorate. What is the point of having experts in the Cricket Board if players cannot deliver the goods? It is very pathetic to see the way our players play the game. Consequently, certain issues regarding Sri Lanka Cricket need to be addressed and tackled. In this article I intend to highlight some of those issues that require immediate attention. I sincerely hope that something will happen. 1. A committees of individuals, who love both country and cricket, should be in charge of Sri Lanka Cricket. They must be free of any ‘hidden agendas’. Their ...
