Sad For Sri Lanka Cricket If It Happens
The player dispute that has meant 23 of the top Sri Lankan players will be frozen out of selection, is going to make the Bangladesh Tour a meaningless one.
I feel sorry for the players in SL at the moment because even when/if they sort things out, the atmosphere among players will be rock bottom.
It is not the Bangladeshi players fault but I can see a really one-sided, and uncompetitive series, that people will just not want to see. Having hollow matches (as happened with West indies a few years ago when players had a contract dispute) makes for a waste of time.
The point of TEST cricket against other nations, is that the best players TEST their skills against each other. This 23 player freeze, will likely decimate the SL selection and at least create such a shocking mood for their squads.
Such a shame. Such a waste. No one wants meaningless matches.
