Sri Lanka Wanted To Play More Warm-up Games, Says Captain Dhananjaya Ahead Of First Test V England
Under Dhananjaya De Silva: On the eve of the first Test on their tour of England, Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya De Silva has rued lack of game-time for his players claiming that they wanted to play a few more warm-up games but were denied the opportunity.
Sri Lanka, who have figured in only nine red-ball games in the last two years, played only one warm-up match before the opening Test, which starts at the Old Trafford ground here on Wednesday.
In that lone warm-up game, the visitors were bowled out for 139 in their first innings. They also did not fare much better in the second innings with only rookie Milan Rathnayake, set to make his debut in the first Test, doing well in both innings.
