T20 World Cup: Theekshana Slams Sri Lanka's Gruelling Schedule, Says 'so Unfair To Us'
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Sri Lanaka spinner Maheesh Theekshana slammed the gruelling T20 World Cup schedule that his team has been put through, calling it 'unfair' as the Wanindu Hasaranga-led side are playing their four group stage matches in four different venues.
The spinner noted that the team hotel, where they kicked off their campaign against South Africa on June 3, was an hour and 40 minutes away from the venue. Meanwhile, he also mentioned that they had to cope with delayed flights and long hours spent at airports.
"So unfair for us, we have to leave every day (after the match) because we are playing at four different venues. It's unfair. The flight we took from Florida, from Miami, we had to wait like eight hours in the airport to get the flight. And we came around. We were supposed to leave at 8pm but we got the flight at 5am. It's really unfair for us, but it doesn't matter when you play (on the field)," said Theekshana after Sri Lanka's loss to South Africa in their opening fixture.
