The goal of the article is not to defend Mendis but to insist on the need to be patient with Sri Lankan youngsters.

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.

THIS. 100%. Just look at Dhananjaya de Silva too. With every passing year he is becoming better and better. We need selectors and SLC officials who have a long term vision.
