Sri Lanka got Jayawardene before the World Cup
A few days ago, Sri Lanka became the champion of the Asia Cup. And that’s how Sri Lankans regained their dominance in cricket after a long time. Dasun Shanaka went to play the T20 World Cup in Australia with that good rhythm. Mahela Jayawardene, the former captain of the country, joined the team as a consultant coach.
Sri Lanka is making last minute preparations before the World Cup which starts from October 16.
As part of this, Jayawardene has been appointed by the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC).
Meanwhile, in the Lankan camp, Jayawardene will be responsible for organizing the team’s plans. Besides, Chris Silverwood and his associates are always in charge of the coaching panel.
The Sri Lankan team is already very happy after winning the Asia Cup. Even in the Asia Cup win, Jayawardene kept the team energized throughout the tournament from outside the dressing room. However, he will be added to the Sri Lankan team, the chief executive officer of the team said last month. Now it has been implemented.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have already reached Australia. They have no other series before the World Cup. However, there are two warm-up matches in Melbourne. After that, Shanaka will enter the main battle of the World Cup. Sri Lanka will face Namibia in their first match of the qualifiers on October 16 at the Geelong Cricket Ground in Victoria.
Jayawardene is the hero of many victories in his cricket career. His bat has lit up many times to win the country titles. Shanaka’s team has increased in strength with Jayawardene joining the team. Let’s see how successful Sri Lanka become in the 22 yards of the field under the touch of this former cricketer.
