Batting Has Been Our Weakness, But We Are Working Towards Improving It: SL Coach Mickey Arthur
Sri Lankan cricket team head coach Mickey Arthur on Sunday admitted that batting was one of the main shortcomings of the side as it embarks on the tour of the UAE and Oman to compete in the ICC T20 World Cup scheduled to commence later this month.
"Actually, our players have been working very hard these days. In those few days (of training) we had the opportunity to play in three practice matches where we trained very well in batting," said Arthur ahead of the team's departure on Sunday.
