Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa, who is with us in the first leg, made the decision not to play in the second leg for reasons that was truly understandable,” Kohli said in launching a blue Jersey team.
“The replacement we get for those people is two players who know this condition, conditions in the sub-continent around this time are similar.” Wanidu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera has played so many crickets in Sri Lanka and know how to play in a field like this.
There is a set of skills will greatly help us.

You can’t just accept anything.
“Outside there are many analysis and data points but the game is not played on it.
This game has never been about information from outside it is about reactions, beliefs at certain times, game plans and ensure you have your will and commitment to execute the plan .
