There are a few surprising names in this list in my view, but let me encourage readers and aficianado to ‘slash and burn’ the presence of some names and/or comment on ABSENCES!
Hasaranga… Pathirana …. Theekshana…Nissanka … Shanaka .… Kusal Mendis …. Kusal Perera …. Asalanka …. Vijayasanth …. Wellallage …. Traveen Mathew …. Binura Fernando
I have coloured the names that surprise me in orange and green. Viyaskanth Vijayakanth’s entry is both surprising and welcome. He is one of the few Tamils to enter the pool of Sri Lankan cricketers in recent years.
I have no knowledge of Traveen Mathew’s ethnic roots, but know that he is a product of St Anthony’s College Kandy; and am pleased to see the stocks of Sri Lankan cricket receiving inputs from upcountry areas amidst the streams flowing from the Southern Province, Moratuwa and Colombo.
