Kusal Mendis and the need to be patient with youngsters

The goal of the article is not to defend Mendis but to insist on the need to be patient with Sri Lankan youngsters. Playing musical chairs with players has not worked and will never work as the tenancy of Sanath Jayasuriya as the chief selector demonstrates. This is not to mean Mendis, or any youngster for that matter, will definitely succeed. They might very well end up failing. But that’s the price Sri Lanka have to pay for their poor domestic structure. But until such time as this is fixed, Sri Lankans have to continue showing faith in youngsters.
