I partly agree with you Sir. I think that the number 6 position should be flexible, depending on the situation of the game. If we are 4 down within the powerplay or 10 overs, we should go with Dasun because of his experience, so he can rebuild the innings. But if we need to gain a bit of momentum and we have a solid base, we can promote Chamika up the order, even to number 5 or above if we are doing really well and we need a good finish. This is my humble opinion.

Yes. Mahela = Legend! Got so much experience in the IPL as well, managing big players. I’m sure he will have a massive impact on this team.

Ah, I see, but yes, I agree that it would make more sense to pick Praveen over Akila as he is in better form and does bowl a little quicker through the air, bowling wkt to wkt. But maybe as you say we will only need two spinners and we can play an extra seamer alongside Dushmantha Chameera, with DDS/Asalanka as extra part-time spin options. Hopefully Akila finds form in the warm-ups.

I agree. I think Charith is one of the best rotators of strike in our squad, and we need someone that can keep things ticking along so the likes of Avishka, Bhanuka and Captain Dassa can play around him.

What happened to Praveen? Did he get injured?
