I'm with you.
Mahela has been a gun, and Herath is handy, but it's time now to start looking at giving more young players opportunities.
Having said that, our cricket is a rabble from top to bottom at the moment, and until we get things in order, nothing will change.
It's annoying and just a tad distressing to think there are as many people in Sri Lanka as Australia, and cricket isn't just the number one sport there, it's really the only sport. Yet our domestic cricket is a shambles, there is no real development programs in place, and our selection policies are based on politics and not form or even potential.
There's talent there for sure, but unless we find better ways to nurture and encourage that talent, we are in for a long barren stretch. Not only that, but we also need to be helping our established players continue to improve. It is bitterly disappointing to see the same players making the same mistakes over and over, for years and years, and yet, they continue to get selected whether they've improved their game or not.
The thing that scares me more than anything, is that I don't think the parties involved are capable of coming together and working on a solution to these problems that is going to make Sri Lankan cricket a power for years to come.
