The reason we cannot immediately make the switch to provincial cricket is because our cricketing economy is centred around Colombo. There aren’t as many clubs in outstation areas as there are in Colombo because none of the administrators who took office for the past decade were bothered about investing in outstation facilities. Sure if you can afford rent in Colombo area you can come and play cricket, but majority of people who live in rural areas don’t have that option. They hardly have enough to cover their daily needs.

Some good insights given by malinda on current issues. Definitely a future selector in my opinion.

Agree. Also 2 players who Sri Lanka haven’t experimented for the world cup are Roshen Silva and Asela Gunaratne. If Angelo Mathews bats at 4, we can bat Roshen at 5, Angelo Perera at 6 and Gunaratne at 7. That’s the middle order for the world cup in my opinion.
