Senior players in the middle order must step up: Coach Silverwood

Sri Lanka’s head coach Chris Silverwood said that senior players in the middle order must step up and take the responsibilities to ensure they put up a competitive score in ODI cricket if they are to compete equally with teams like India.

Silverwood was voicing his opinion after Sri Lanka had conceded the three-match ODI series 2-0 to India, losing the second match by four wickets at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Thursday.
