Sri Lanka Struggling To Find Right Balance After Suspension Of Three Players: Mickey Arthur

By IANS News October 20, 2021 • 12:36 PM View: 1331

Sri Lankan coach Mickey Arthur has said that one-year bans on three players -- Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, and Niroshan Dickwella -- for bio-bubble breach during the UK tour earlier this year had unsettled the crucial No.3 position in the batting order, adding that if that position could be "shelved down", his team would be much better off in the ICC T20 World Cup here.

Following an easy seven-wicket win over Namibia on October 18, Sri Lanka take on a much tougher opponent in Ireland later on Wednesday, with a win in the First Round Group A match assuring the former champions a place in the 'Super 12' stage.
