We can’t afford to play with all newbies against a team like India. Vandersay is not a replacement for Hasaranga and he is not a threat to in-form Indian batters. We have no choice other than making many changes to the team. Shanaka should use part time bowlers more often and change his thought of using all his main bowlers even if they are expensive in terms of runs. Why can’t he use Danushka one or two overs along with DDS.
My team for today is.
- Pathum Nissanka
- Danushka Gunathilaka
- Charith Asalanka
- Janith Liyanage / Chandimal
- DDS
- Dasun Shanka
- Niroshan Dickwella
- Chamika karunaratne
- Dushmantha Chameera
- Binura Fernando
- Praveen / Ahsen
It’s a good team but I would go with the following batting order
1 Dickwella
2 Nissanka
3 Dhanushka
4 Asalanka
5 Janith (2nd) / Chandimal (3rd)
6 Shanaka
7 DDS
8 Cmamika
9 Dushmantha
10 Binura
11 Praveen (2nd) / Ashain (3rd)
