Hasaranga and Theekshana Express Frustation On Sri Lanka’s ‘Unfair’ Travel Arrangements In T20 World Cup 2024

Sri Lanka faced a disappointing defeat against South Africa, scoring only 77 runs and losing by six wickets in their first match of the T20 World Cup 2024. The loss has compounded the team’s existing off-field challenges as Wanindu Hasaranga, the captain of Sri Lanka, and spinner Maheesh Theekshana criticised the schedule of their team’s matches in the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup, claiming that the roster is unfair compared to some other teams and that the lengthy travel time has already forced them to cancel one practice.
