Percy. I am so sad. Legend. He was the epitome of a cricket supporter and the ultimate Patriot

SL needs to build a team that can defeat the big 4-5 in ODI, need to take a little bit of risk with team selection.
These guys need to be gone from the ODI. I don't have Shanaka on the list because I still think there is a spot for him for his hitting ability. He just needs to be more consistent. But he can't play if there is Chamika, Wellalage or DDS.
FK OFF List
Mathews
KJP
Rajitha
Kumara
DDS

I know Kamindu Mendis hasn't performed in ODIs. But he needs to be persisted with. He can replace Shanaka. Avishka also needs to be included in the ODIs.
RE: Sri Lanka Cricket Discussion Thread - stillwill - 10-30-2023
Sadeera has done pretty well and has been relatively consistent and Nissanka has done superbly with his limitations. Asalanka has been dissapointing. Kusal Mendis is just KM.

He is more of a T20 player who got the ODI captaincy by accident because of the contract dispute. I'm not sure they will try him in ODI again. His inability to handle spin is a big problem. Shouldn't drop him from the T20I side though.

One thing is for certain. Mendis cannot stay as captain. He simply doesn’t read the game well enough, and got heavily exposed today against Afghanistan. Lots of strange decisions from the beginning. I think he was even surprised that there was dew in the second innings.
Not sure who the best option for captaincy is. Sadeera, Asalanka or Hasaranga would be “okay” options.
