Chennai: Arjuna Ranatunga may have triggered controversy with the comments of his’ B-Team India earlier this week, but former teammate Sri Lanka Aravinda de Silva felt that their party should not take India lightly.
“It is impossible for us to be able to call the Indian side of the second point.
India has great talent and this side is as good as anything.
In fact, it will be a challenge for us to defeat this Indian team,” De Silva, who is also Sri Lanka Cricket Cricket Cricket Cricket , said that in the media session ahead of the excess overs series which would be broadcast on Sony Sports from July 13.
“We can take a lot of trust that entered the T20 World Cup (later this year) if we can defeat India.” India deployed two sides simultaneously – the test squad will face England next month while the limited-overs team returned by Shikhar Dhawan will take Lanka.
De Silva said this tactic could be the future because of a pandemic.
“Bubble-Life is very challenging for players.
It takes a mentally fortress.
So not only India but other countries also spin players to give them time to spend time with their families.
I believe in leaving two teams can become the future of international cricket,” said Former Sri Lanka captain.
De Silva said the dravid discipline approach to the game would rub the players.
“Dravid has instilled his knowledge and strategies.
Likewise, we have tried to convince Mahela Jayawardene to take the role of SL U-19 coach but could not find success,” he said.
This Indian side is not a ‘b’ team, said Aravinda de Silva
