I agree its going to be a challenge for Sri Lanka to get back to where they once were when these great players were playing for them. Its just going to take time as finding talent like they had is hard and when a team loses 3-4 top players its hard to recover from. Australia went through this after a few of their top players retired around the same time and so did India. I think they have a few good players but they still need to mature before we see the best of them.
Srilanka will take a minimum of more 5+ years to get what they had in the previous. If you have a look, only Sangakkara, Mahela and Dilshan was playing good most of the time and they were carrying the whole team but Srilanka lost all 3 of them almost at once. It was a big lose. India has recovered its team since after Sachin, Sehwag gone. In fact, I think India is in better position than then.
I agree with you. Sri Lanka needs drastic changes in order to prepare themselves for the upcoming world cup since the current team has proven again and again why they are unfit as a team together. They sorely need bowlers like Chaminda Vaas and Murali in order to regain their form.
T20 have begun between India vs NZ women cricket and batting first NZ made 159/4 in their 20 overs and India have started the chase well with 77/1 in 8 overs. After this match is over men T20 between India vs NZ will be played on the same ground. So it will be a interesting day to watch the T20 of both men and women.
Interesting. I feel that both the men and womens Indian cricket teams will win due to the current form of the Indian players. The recent victories over Australia and New Zealand will only help motivate them even further.
