Praveen

Lasith Malinga should probably be included to Category 2 along with Nuwan Kulasekara. He has performed well consistently for the last 18 months. Thus he deserves to be ranked at top.

Also you have forgoten “Tissara Perera”,, Are u sure.. that you have selected correctly? 20 is not enough. No this is a miracle. Players always perform well, but there is no any chance for sootable players.. Please recorrect this.! Other wise we all would be POOR..!!

YOU WOULD BE RICH TLLL SRI LANKAN PEOPLE WATCH MATCHES,, BUT ONE DAY YOU ALL WILL HAVE TO GET OUT..!!

TRUETH IS TO COME..!! Wait and see…!!!
Dushan Srimantha

What about “Jeewan Mendis & Chamara Silva”..!! Did you forget them.. Remember this.., You must give few chances for good players,, You have forgoten ‘Kaushal Lokuarachchi, Mahela Udawatte and many others also,, You are not happy while they perform well, after the loes, you refuse them..! What a selfish activity,, Sri Lanka Cricket never rais,, no one can build it, because everyone works according to politician’s ideas..!!
Thank you..!! All the best…!!!

this new contract is not good.previuosly we had over 50 contracted players(sl A,development squad) now it is reduce to 20.giving money to those who have money and reducing payments for poor guys.this is unfair!

We need some good pace bowlers. The new comers are good and they have got the energy to play. DILHARA IN NOT UP TO STANDARD AGAISNT BETTER TEAM LIKE AUSTRALIA OR INDIA. In Australia he fails all the time and selectors keep sending him Australia despite his failures. Thisara perera is fearless and has got all the energy to become an all-rounder. Where is he?
Mr. Cricket

Chamara Silva and Jeevan Mendis truly deserves….
Anu Perera

Chamara Silva needs another chance at the top team after what he has done to the Aus A team in Brisbane. I was there and he deserves a spot.

I just wanted to pass a comment on the Sri Lankan A cricket side. I am an Australian Cricket fan and I had a chance to watch your players yesterday and seeing them for the first time; I was impressed with the skills that they offered during the day. Their ground feilding was good as well as thier bowling. I look forward to their Austrlian Tour and hope that they do well.

Thanks
