• Trying to derive sympathy and block possible reform? 

The most veteran campaigner in the current Sri Lankan T20 side, Angelo Mathews, speaking to media recently argued that "We disappointed a nation. Apologies for that. Our batters failed while bowlers did their part. (Then let's go further this same way)."

Then who answers the alleged disciplinary breach within the national team in the US, who answers whether there was any foreign intervention in the controversial team selection, who answers why so early preparation if the outcome is what it was.

The most ideal one to explain all that is no one else but Captain Wanindu Hasaranga, isn't it?

Spinner Maheesh Theekshana, meanwhile, 'chants the same mantra' but who justifies his selection himself in the side, one may ask.

And why do all these players, Theekshana and pacie Matheesha Pathirana, visibly perform better during their IPL commitments for the Chennai Super Kings?

Meanwhile Kusal Mendis, a said contender for next captaincy, is allegedly asking for a break in the format.

Eventually, establishing the total transformation in the system, which is the popular demand, will be further delayed.

Proportionately to the time, the local fan base will be further eroded.
