The Elephant in the Room: It's Time to Discuss Piyal Wijetunga's Incompetence

During Piyal’s time as a coach, Sri Lanka have not only failed to produce good spinners, but the promising ones have also faded away after joining the national setup. To top everything off, if he is going to make wanton changes to a young spinner’s action and then blame the spinner for failing in the middle of a Test match, one has to question his professionalism. Furthermore, when a coach has managed to hold onto his position for well over a decade in a country that is infamous for its fleeting relationships with its coaches, one is made to wonder if he is backed by someone powerful. Whatever it is, it is high time that questions about his fitness for his role are raised and answers are sought.
