Susantha, He will be overlooked the whole time during current chief of selectors reign. Nothing related to the game of cricket or the player’s form. Just a personal agenda against towards few players.

If SLC is going to appoint and fire coaches, selectors based on minister’s favor, something is very wrong with SLC constitute. I strongly believe there is a huge influence from the current chief of selectors behind this move too. If SLC wants to terminate the contract of Hathurusinghe, they should pay the remainder upfront of his contract and release him without moving him to Women’s team or anything.

In the current concept of SLC team management, what is the role of Hathurusinghe? He can’t select the players he wants to be in the squad, He can’t select the playing eleven from the selected squad because the team manager which happens to be the chief of selectors does the decision making for coach. In the end coach will sits there and gets fired for someone else mistakes.

I think Dimuth’s chance for captaining the ODI team for world cup has been vanished with the recent incident. If Asnatha and Co. going to appoint him as the captain it will suggest how lightly SLC is considering player’s discipline off the field, which won’t do any good for the youth to come. Angelo is not gonna work with Hathuru and Malinga’s record as a captain in the recent past won’t guarantee him the reigns
