‘We Can’t Take Things For Granted’: Jayasuriya On Balancing Formats And Sri Lanka’s Path To WTC Final

By IANS News November 22, 2024 • 13:04 PM View: 77

World Test Championship: Sri Lanka continue its impressive resurgence, maintaining an unbeaten streak at home with recent victories over India, West Indies, and New Zealand. A 2-0 triumph in the ODI series against New Zealand not only reinforced their dominance in white-ball cricket but also set the stage for an important Test series in South Africa.

Head coach Sanath Jayasuriya opened up about the rationale behind retaining key Test players for the limited-overs matches, a move that has drawn both praise and scrutiny.
