With their demanding schedule and last-minute logistical plans for the upcoming T20 World Cup, the Sri Lankan cricket squad has encountered numerous challenges. A small number of Sri Lankan players have voiced their displeasure with the previously described features. Ransilu Jayathilake, a weightlifter from Sri Lanka, took exception at this and provided his own example of how he overcome more difficult challenges while representing his country.
“There were 23 flying hours.arrived around 7 a.m.likely strolled two kilometres around the site to complete the registration process.I recently had a muffin and a banana.45 minutes to prepare and go into competition.had none of his fans.And we never grumbled about jet lag because we worked so hard to raise the Sri Lankan flag’, Jayathilake posted on social media.
Specifically, the International Cricket Council (ICC) received complaints regarding the scheduling from skipper Wanindu Hasaranga and fellow spinner Maheesh Theekshana. Though he acknowledged that it was too late to make any changes, team manager Mahinda Halangoda stated that they had written to the ICC about their issues. The 2014 winners had to postpone a few training sessions in order to accommodate their demanding schedule.
After the washout in Florida, Sri Lanka is on the edge of extinction.
After their match against Nepal in Florida on Wednesday, June 12, was called off before a ball was thrown, Sri Lanka’s chances of making it to the Super Eight stage took a serious knock. South Africa defeated Hasaranga and Co. in New York by six wickets to begin their campaign. After that, the Lankan Lions travelled to Dallas to play their bitter enemies, Bangladesh, where they were defeated by Najmul Hossain Shanto’s team in two wickets.
They would have been able to maintain their hopes of finishing in the top two in Group D with a victory over Nepal. They would need to defeat the Netherlands in their final match the following week if they were to have any chance of moving on to the next round, therefore they would have to settle with a single point.
