Comments on: SLC Chairman’s message to BCB for forthcoming Tri series http://www.srilankacricket.lk/news/slc-chairmans-message-to-bcb-for-forthcoming-tri-series SLC Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:54:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Premasiri http://www.srilankacricket.lk/news/slc-chairmans-message-to-bcb-for-forthcoming-tri-series/comment-page-1#comment-123 Premasiri Fri, 25 Dec 2009 00:42:17 +0000 http://www.srilankacricket.lk/?p=1356#comment-123 As a result of the SLC management's policy of allowing our best players to go there & earn more money, the quality of the game in Bangladesh has improved in leaps & bounce. Since the participation of the senior players in the domestic tournaments has gone to zero level, our domestic cricket standard has been deteriorating at a faster rate. Retired cricketers too have gone there as coaches by giving various excuses for their leaving, in search of more money, abandoning the future generation of the country. It was not so with the countries that has well developed cricket structures. The present management of SLC has lot to learn from the Bangladesh Cricket Management of the way of developing the standard of the game in a country. I strongly feel that without giving more incentives to players, there is no way, we could up lift the quality of the game in the country. It is always better to provide more cricket pitches for poor children of the country rather than spending huge sums of money on one luxurious money consuming cricket stadium and I would like to make a humble request to the chairman of the SLC to pay a visit to all big cities in India & see the number of cricket pitches available for the poor young cricketers of that country. A poor child in Sri Lanka to play on a turf wicket is just a distant dream because all grounds areproperties of individual clubs & big schools. I feel all these playing grounds in big cities has to be under the administration of the government & make them available for every young child in the country. The government also on the other hand has to decide on games that they should concentrate more ( the game suitable for small framed Asians) as it happens in Asian countries like India & China.
