I am starting to talk about the journey of Sri Lanka in this World Cup too. We saw that their journey just disappointed us, and they also were very disappointed because of their team performances.
They are a great team and ICC suspended their team because they don’t play well., and now maybe we won’t see the Sri Lanka team in any ICC events.
Their performances were damaged when Malinga, Kumar Sangakkara, and other big people retired from cricket and there were no replacements of these players were ready. Anyway, they did very poor performances in this World Cup. I think the Sri Lankan old team can’t become again, and it is the true story of the Sri Lanka cricket team.
Srilanka very poor performance in this world cup they finished at 9th Position on point tables and didn't qulaify for the champions Trophy 2025 played in Pakistan. In this world cup Sirlanka won only 2 matches once against Netherlands by 5 wickets and second against previous world champions against England by 8 wickets. This is huge victory for Sirlanka team but after that they loose all matches from Afghanistan, india, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Old Srilanka team is very talented they best all round team in the world and most of time they qualify for Semifinals and final of wold cups.
When players like Jayasuriya, Muralitharan, Sangakkara, Jayawardene and Malinga were in the Sri Lankan squad, I miss this squad a lot. Personally I am not a fan of Sri Lanka cricket. But I like Sangakkara, Jayasuriya and Malinga very much. I like Sangakkara's batting style. He was an excellent batsman and human being. But the current team in Sri Lanka is completely opposite. I think most of the players in the team are rude. They did not even shake hands with the Bangladeshi players after the game against Bangladesh. Also we see at times they behave strangely after getting a wicket. However, this is not a fault, but it seems strange to me. Players should be a little more patient. As they are professional players.
