The Colombo SSC Sports Club (SSC) traditionally offers more support for sailors than Galle, and Sri Lanka often develops a three -run strategy at this place.
Sri Lanka announced its team for the second test against Bangladesh with a significant change in the programming. The versatile Milan Ratnayake, which impressed by the bat and the ball during the opening test in Galle, was excluded due to an injury.
His absence is a blow for the hosts, especially given his impactful beginnings which added the balance to the team. To compensate, the selectors brought the seamstress of the left arm Vishwa Fernando, the versatile left -wing spinner Dunith Wellalage and the young versatile Pawan Rathnayake.
Vishwa Fernando’s recall indicates a transition to experience in friendly conditions. The Colombo SSC Sports Club (SSC) traditionally offers more support for sailors than Galle, and Sri Lanka often develops a three -run strategy at this place.
This means that fans could see a trio of rhythm including Kasun Rajitha, Asitha Fernando and the return of Vishwa Fernando. Such a combination offers a variety – Kasun’s control and rebound, Asitha’s relaxed rhythm and Vishwa’s left arm angle.
Dunith Wellalage offers a spin option if the terrain shows signs of wear later in the game, and its capabilities with the bat could offer a depth in the command. Meanwhile, Pawan Rathnayake adds juvenile energy and could be prepared for future tours, although it remains to be seen if it gets a place in the game game.
