There is also a National Super League and we have to keep our form in the same way. The disappointing thing is that there is no international test now. We have appealed to the Sri Lanka Cricket Board to give us a chance to participate in more Tests. I feel that more teams are being talked about. If we play and play three to four tests, then we can continue to perform even more well.

Sri Lankan captain Disilva further said, ‘Kusal Mendis is very important for our batting lineup at number 7. He is one of the best batsmen in Sri Lanka. He has scored runs in the last few series and if he continues to bat more like this, then the lower order will be even better. Decilva has also praised the team’s bowling lineup and is confident that Sri Lankan players will try to perform brilliantly in the coming matches.
