A 30 man squad was named for the forthcoming WC/T20 as per the ICC’s cutoff date which was 28th February. The Selection committee has included Jeevantha Kulatunga to the squad considering his performance during the T20. This decision was made taking into consideration the injury concern to some of the players already named in the WC/T20 squad.
The selectors took this decision after the conclusion of the Provincial T20 tournament on the 7th of March, in which Jeevantha was adjudicated as the man of the Tournament. Jeevanthas’ inclusion has been notified to the ICC.
The final 15 man squad will be selected in due course.

Dear Sir,
In our national cricket team, we need to make some certern changers, b’coz always our aim to win matches for our country. so in this case, i always prays to mahela, bcoz mahela is such a classic player, now it self he is struggling to make some big scores, so please make him operner or no. 03 batsmen, sanga is another clasy player at all the time. my idea is he can bat any place like no 04. let we get some good work from classic mahela and we will win world cup 20/20 for our country, we are hope to achieve that sucsess for our people. bcoz they did not had a like this big moment after winning world cup 1996.
I think this is right time to sanath to leave international ground. and we can give another chance to check about vass and murali.
Thanks.

No arguments on that. Murali is the best bowler world has seen so far. But we need to think from teams point of view. Say that there was no IPL and the squad was decided to choose from the Provincial T20 & 50 over competition we had. Who were the two best spinners perfored well in the both series. Suraj & Sachithra(Janaka two did well). They not only performed well with the bowl. There feilding & bowling was also exceptional. You would understand only if you have seen them. If you have seen yesterday IPL match which Mumbai played against Decan, one main factor to Mumbai’s victory was the batting of Harbajan. Those things counts a lot. Anyway, this is my personal opinion. Anyone right to have there own. But the ones who can’t even respect others decision would definitely looks like child who haven’t matured yet(that is by knowledge, experience, personality & attitude).

Perera who has left Murali out of his playing 11 is a pure idiot. He is unarguibly the best spinner in the world.

Don’t be suprise why I left our Vass & not to include Murali in my playing 11. Both Vass & Murali did played along with other players in our domestic inter provincial T20 where other players(Suraj, Sachithra, Isuru) did well than them. But those player did not get the opportunity in IPL and if they got any chance in IPL I bet they would have done very well. I don’t want to take the credit which Vass & Murali get due to their current IPL performance. Those legends have done our county proud. But now we should be giving chance to the players who are in form. What matters is the success which we achieve as a team. I firmly beleive young talent like Suraj, Sachithra & Isuru who electric in the feild who have some reasonable batting ability apart from their bowling ability make them very useful for T20 cricket. Specially Sachithra & Suraj had one of the best economy rates in the T20 series & was among the top 5 bowlers if I am not mistaken. Isuru does have good chage up deliveries but he should not be predictable and should be using his regular fast deliveries & yokers. I got no doubt in naming Chandimal who will star in future SL & world cricket. I think it is certainly time to take right decisions in SL cricket as we are just around the corner for T20 world cup and it not very long from 50 over world cup. Indian selectors have shown faith on the young talen who are performing well in there IPL by naming them for final T20 world cup Indian squad. Even Sachin Tendulkar is not considered even he is going through a one his best batting forms his cricket & performing well in IPL(it seems to be a firm policy decisions of Indian selectors which not change from time to time). I’m not sure whether the our selectors would even seen this but if there is someone(even any officer at SLC) who can even direct our comments for the selectors would do his part in getting the glory to our mother land in the upcoming T20 world cup. This is the best I could come out from my very little knowledger at cricket. If there is even 1% good which our selectors, officers who are looking after SL cricket and from our cricketers I beleive it will add great value to the game we love most. Who ever included in the our team let wish them all the best & hope they will do their best to bring glory to our motherland.

SL batsmen at IPL are no where near the likes of Kallis who has amassed close to 300 runs so far. A good batsman like Kulatunga will fill this vacuum in the SL team for T20 WC. He is also good with the bowl and in the feild.

The selectors should not stop here but should select Jeevantha to the 15 member squad and give him an opportunity to play in the WC. Given lot of SL players especially, the top batsmen have been out of form in recent times as can be seen in the IPL matches ( Dilshan,Sanga,Sana Trio together, each with 32 runs, are reigning the very bottom of the list of IPL top scorers), the inform Kulatunga can take it from them and take the SL team to huge totals. Kulatunga is very good at taking teams from out of danger, among many examples is the 4 day In Prov , match between Wayamba and Basnahira South ( Actually , the match ended in three days) where Wayamba was 2 wickets down with only 8 runs, Kulatunga lead Wayamba to the top with fire works of 100 n/o(10 X4 , 3 X6). Statistics show that in the Inter Prov 4 day matches concluded last week, he has the best bowling economy rate of 2. In Int – Prov T20 last year, he got 4 wickets in just 9 overs he was given to bowl. He is one of the few players who can hit the wicket from a distance. He has shown it that he is capable of hitting it over the rope when 6 is required to win from the last ball.
Kulatunga is therefore, a must player in Sri Lanka team for SL to win the T20 WC 2010.
So Sangakkara, the ball is now in your court. Country(the Cup) or some other matter in your head, people are closely watching over your moves.
