Agree it’s a huge gamble to do this in the middle of a WC. KJP is struggling with early swing and Dana has not contributed much from number 6 but he is a good test batsman. Just need some one to see off the new ball for the first 6-7 overs and play along the ground.
Pathum, Dananjaya, Mendis, Sadheera, Asalanka, KJP, Mathews, Theekshana, Madushanka, Kumara, Rajitha/Wellalage
would be nice to have Chameera for the last few games.
Yes worth a try. Otherwise DDS not worth batting down the order. Otherwise drop DDS and replace with Wella.
After world cup, should really look to groom Avishka Fernando, Shevon Daniel, Nuwanidu Fernando
