Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka said Thursday that his on-field spat with coach Mickey Arthur in the second one-day international against India was about tactics. He said the coach questioned if he had changed tactics they had agreed to before the match. "There was no heated exchange," Shanaka said. Sri Lanka went into the series with injuries and without batting coach Grant Flower, who tested positive for Covid-19 on his return with the team from a tour of England where they lost both the ODI and Twenty20 series. Shanaka said Sri Lanka were hopeful of improving on their performance for the third and final ODI on Friday.
