It now appears SL can do without the injury prone Mathews.Asela Gunaratne's pain is Dasun Shanaka's gain.There is Sadeera, Kusal.P, and Asela in the wings to prop up the batting. So Upul and Dinesh will have to make way.Thissara on his current form assend to captaincy.SLC need dynamic youngsters for the T/20.
