Sri Lankan cricket followers groping for answers

2 April, 2023

A long list of questions, suggestions and woes circulating on social media and WhatsApp groups have invaded the thoughts of Sri Lankan cricket followers after the team failed to qualify directly to the 2023 World Cup while losing to New Zealand on the current tour.

The questions are likely to keep Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) officials on their toes to act accordingly.

Some of it doing the rounds is that in any other country:

* Chairman of Selectors will resign or call a Press conference to explain
* Captain will resign

* Coach will offer to resign or will discuss the contingencies needed to be taken with the Board and Selectors
* Manager’s role will be questioned

* Consultant coach will come up with a blueprint on way forward after discussing with all stakeholders
* Did captain go against the wishes of the team and coach and bowl first in first ODI (vs New Zealand)

* How much is being spent on players
* The role of the Support Staff of 14

* Did the current impasse between the Sports Ministry and SLC have a direct impact on the team performance
