This question is unnecessary. Given the state the Srikanka cricket is in we need Pathum. And he is the only one showing consistency. Clearly he is given a role and doing that very well. Even Ruturaj Gaikward plays same style and everyone praises him even though he has not proven his ability in international ground.

Good dream. Mahela can not even afford 3weeks and Herath is already locked up with Bangaladesh. What is the disadvantage we see with Mikey Arther? We Srilankans have a mentality of hating foreign coaches. Micky Arthur did not have a lot of tournaments or practice sessions to groom this team. Also, he had a lot of hiccups from the SLC management during his tenure. Things like removal of senior players, UK bubble breach, contract issues etc.
When we won world cups we were coached by foreign coaches. It is just we need better administartion

Subaskaran and Lyca group is a mysterious millionaire. Known for Tax evasion and not paying well for their employees even in India for movie makers. Yes, he chooses the Indian film industry for easy money laundering and now LPL. But, why do people think he was a supporter of LTTE only because he is Tamil? He is a good friend of the Rajapaksha family so there he can not be a friend of both sides. We Srilankan stop thinking all the Tamil bigshots are LTTE’s funding sources. But as commented here we just need to take it. because, what do we know about all the Pakistan bosses who own other franchises?

one thing is for sure, Subaskaran is a mastermind he can bring more lights to LPL than others.

Susantha, you have the answer in your comment. The point of the article is how can Mahela brings wonders in one week’s time. We all know how ego our SLC officials are. So with the same system and same officials how can the like of Mahela and Kumar bring changes. They are the ones who said we need to change the system, not the personnel.

I am not against the addition of Mahela but I want the system to let Mahela function on his own or bring in more legends with a long-term plan. For me, it sounds like MJ accepted this because he can not say to Namal and Aravinda.

We all wish the soup won’t be spoiled and some good will happen. Lets hope

Why Admin is allowing such fake news? clearly a clickbait.
