A very senior SLC official reacted sharply refuting the Lankan skipper Mahela Jayawardene’s statement that the Lankan team did not have a break between the Commonwealth Bank series in Australia and the present Asia Cup contest in Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka may have won the Cricket World Cup once, but that is not the pinnacle in cricket as a whole. What Sri Lanka won was the Limited Overs championship, but alas that is the only thing that is being bartered around by the ICC as a World Cup at preset. Yet for the purist, the topmost form of the game is Test cricket, for which there is no substitute.
