31 May, Kathmandu. The Sri Lankan cricket team, which came to America to play the T20 World Cup 2024, initially complained about the facilities provided to them. The Sri Lankan team was not satisfied with the accommodation and travel. Now the same team has started complaining about their own game.
Sri Lanka has only one point from three matches in Group D of this World Cup. That means Sri Lanka has not won a single match. This one point was also obtained after the match against Nepal was interrupted by rain.
If there is no dramatic series of results, Sri Lanka is out of the tournament. Due to the fact that the mathematical probability remains, it is not possible to say that Sri Lanka will return home now.
South Africa has already reached the Super-8 from Group D. He has won three games in a row. So he has maximum 6 points. Now only one team is left from this group. The possibility of that team being Sri Lanka is very weak.
Sri Lanka’s last match is against the Netherlands. Sri Lanka lost against South Africa and Bangladesh. Now the question has arisen, why is Sri Lankan cricket failing again and again?
If we focus only on this World Cup, there are three clear reasons for this. The first reason is completely unsuccessful batting. Sri Lankan batters have not been able to do well. In the match against South Africa, Sri Lanka, who batted first, were bowled out for 77 runs.
After that, batting first against Bangladesh, he could score only 124 runs. There was no opportunity against Nepal.
Now for the second reason, the Sri Lankan team cheats in the middle part of their innings. Sri Lanka has not been able to convert the good start into a big score.
The same applies to bowling. Against South Africa and Bangladesh, Sri Lankan bowlers could not take wickets when needed, especially in the middle.
Now there is a third reason. This is the worst performance of an experienced player. Moreover, as many experienced players were trusted, they all remained pale.
Sri Lanka is not without players like Angelo Mathews, Kushal Mendis, Dasun Sanaka and captain Wanindu Hasaranga. However, his name alone could not play.
These are immediate reasons. What is the root cause? Especially the Sri Lankan Cricket Board, Sri Lankan domestic cricket, everything is bad, discredited.
The Sri Lankan Cricket Board has been embroiled in controversy for a long time. There is also government intervention on top of that. There is a lot of power politics on the board.
The biggest problem is financial irregularities within the board. Now such a board cannot run domestic cricket.
Until a decade ago, the Sri Lankan team was very strong. The team had players like Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara. Now there are no players who can come close to them, in the Sri Lankan cricket team.
