More troubles for Sri Lanka cricket View(s):Sri Lankan cricket is in a full blown crisis. Just weeks after Sri Lanka acquired a false sense of satisfaction after beating and equally vulnerable Pakistan outfit in a three-match T20 series, there was belief back at home that our cricket is finally back on track. The effort was spearheaded by Lasith Malinga, who now leads Sri Lanka in T20s. Under Malinga’s captaincy, Sri Lanka have lost nine out of ten matches played this year, an indication that his mantra is not working for the Lankans. On the other hand, the Sri Lanka team is without a head coach since August this year, after Sri Lanka Cricket decided to suspend Chandika Hathurusingha for a not-so-impressive 18 months in office.
