Opening. He`ll be stubborn to retire but not like Sanath lol.

OK. There's no comparison with Mahela. None whatsoever because Mahela was a proper Test-quality player who could handle good bowling and play long innings, and didn't look clueless on off side strokeplay.

Yup. But Mendis would be much better opening than 3. And I`m sure he`ll get moved up eventually

Nissanka and Avishka could open going forward, but it's hard to give a shit these days. This team just can't click together against good teams.

Mendis will be found out outside the off stump by good teams. He might get away in t20s but not in ODIs.

It will provide him a good opportunity to extend his lead on the most ducks (14) by a batter playing in the top 6 since the 2015 WC. Should be fun.

Hasaranga's off side strokeplay is stronger compared to most of the top order batters in SL.
