Sri Lanka’s national selectors failure to play the one in form batsman Pavan Rathnayake in the badly beaten T20 opener to England despite his masterly near run a ball century of 121 against England who proved himself the only Lankan batsman to get on top of the visitors threatening spinners, bordered on nothing short of suicide or else the selectors getting too loco drunk with power.
This is best apt better described in the popular Sinhala catch phrase. ‘Illan Kanawa.’
As Sri Lanka enters to a decisive now or never second game against England tonight at the same venue at Pallekelle, a whole 21 million nation is watching chief selector Pramodya Wickramasinhe’s next move in a decisive phase of the country’s cricket with a T20 World cup on in Lankan shores six days from now.
