Replace money as the incentive with DEDICATION.That should be the No 1 quality a cricketer should have to represent the country,That should be the key consideration when appointing coaches and other key personnel as well. Any connections with IPL should be dealt with care to avoid conflicts of interest.Preparation is the key so any excuses offered after the tournament should be viewed in that context

It is SLC that has been destroying Sri Lankan cricket. It seems The General Secretary has tendered his resignation. All other SLC Executives MUST resign. If they do not, they MUST be terminated.

It is no surprise that Sri Lanka had a dsastrous 2023 world cup campaign because of our poor record recently. As a result Sri Lanka failed to get direct qualification and had to compete against some weaker teams and win first to be eligible to play against the top 10 teams in the competition like Australia, india, NZ, South Africa, Pakistan and defending champions England Our standards have slipped in recent years and currently we are not good enough to compete at the highest level among the top ten countries in world cricket and had to sneak in through the back door play in the 2023 cricket world cup.

Before the 2023 ccricket world cup Sri Lanka was ranked 7th in the ICC ODI Rankings and since the cricket world cup has hit rock bottom ending at 9th place before the Netherlands ( an associate member) where unlike Sri Lanka European Football is the number one sport.

First thing First Selection Committee should resign or be sacked immediately. Probably the main reason for the debacle of having stubborn policies. Pramodaya

During the last 10 years or so Sri Lanka cricket has had about a dozen cricket coaches but the quality and standard has only hit rock bottom as witnessed in recent times in the cricket world where we ended up at the bottom of the table. You cannot blame the coach because if a player doesn't have enough talent the coach cannot do anything much. In the current Sri lanka cricket team I can say there are only four talented batsmen and three bowlers you can rely on while the rest help to make up the team.
