It's better than the Kusal 'smoking' Mendis hype

You have not seen my video, Day 3 highlights Ramesh hits ton while India struggle at other end , I suppose
RE: Post your SL Test XV for the next 5 years - pj57 - 07-06-2021
Actually, I don't see Mathews playing regularly in the next 3 to 5 years. I will have KJP somewhere in that squad, too good a player to keep out.
I don't mind DdS at #3, he has batted there in 11 matches and done OK with two hundreds but he has been at his best at #5-6.

RE: SLC Administration News - Bada - 07-06-2021
I heard the sports reporter mention 2019/20 contract on Derana last night. This interview took place in 2021. It's not clear.
RE: SLC Administration News - criccontent - 07-06-2021
Bhanuka had a contract for 19-20 season. He is not contracted for 21
RE: Post your SL Test XV for the next 5 years - sammyboi23 - 07-06-2021
I don’t think Sandakan is a test bowler but I agree with the rest. Hasaranga doesn’t fit in to the test lineup for me
Karunaratne
Thirimanne
Oshada Fernando
Chandimal
Mathews
De Silva
Dickwella
Ramesh Mendis
Lakmal
Vishwa Fernando
Jayawickrama
Embuldeniya
Chameera
Kumara
Nissanka
RE: Post your SL Test XV for the next 5 years - Bada - 07-06-2021
Sandakan was never really given a proper run. He was alright in the few Tests he played. That's why I included him.
Here's a post from an old discussion. It's in ODI that he has struggled badly.

I guess he has some domestic type contract with SLC like PJ said. Can't be fined if you weren't contractually bound at the time of the interview.
