On November 10, 2007, ex-Sri Lanka skipper Marvan Atapattu unleashed a surprise attack on his country's selectors and the cricket board. This was on the third day of the first Test against Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Sri Lanka cricket is looking very seriously to add some more Test matches outside their FTP (Future Tours Programme) up to the next World Cup in 2011.
In spite of being ranked second in the World rankings at present Sri Lanka currently has only five Tests from now on leading to the World Cup which is scheduled to be played in the Indian sub-continent.
