IPL

Sangakkara, Jayawardene support Malinga's decision

Former Sri Lankan captains Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene have backed fast bowler Lasith Malinga's decision to quit Tests on account of a degenerative knee condition. Malinga announced his retirement last week, when the Sri Lankan board questioned his participation in the IPL after withdrawing from the upcoming England Tests citing fitness issues. Sangakkara pointed out that Malinga's decision was best for the team, while Jayawardene said it was the right call from a personal point of view.

"We were all well aware of the seriousness of his knee condition and while I was captain we tried to manage him as carefully and sensitively as possible during the past couple of years," Sangakkara wrote in his column in the Times of India. "We obviously wanted him to play Tests, but when we asked him to play the India tour it took him two months to physically recover from that."

Sangakkara revealed that Malinga's future was one of the issues he had discussed with the Sri Lankan board while stepping down from captaincy. "The truth is that Lasith is our best fast bowler in limited-overs cricket right now," Sangakkara wrote. "If we forced him to play Tests we would be running the risk of losing him completely. That would be a tragedy for Sri Lanka, undermining both the ODI and T20 teams."

Sangakkara dismissed suggestions that Malinga chose to quit Tests in order to extend his participation in the lucrative IPL. "Malinga has always given his best as a national cricketer. Had it not been for his knee problem he would definitely want to play Tests. I fully support his decision and hope that as a result of it we see him playing for a few more years."

Jayawardene, who was in charge of the Sri Lankan side before Sangakkara took over said it was unfair to criticise Malinga's decision. "Given the state of his knee condition, there is no point in him taking the risk of playing Test cricket," Jayawardene wrote in the same newspaper. "If he breaks down then it will be bad for Sri Lanka. We want him playing for us as long as possible. Some people have criticised the decision, arguing that he is being selfish. This short-sighted argument is very unfair given that he clearly has a chronic knee problem.

"Lasith is a human being and, while he is totally committed to Sri Lanka, he also has responsibilities as a husband and, one day hopefully, a father. If his career is ended by injury, who is going to look after him and his family? When he suffered the injury the first time he was stripped of his central contract within about six months and left with no income.

"Any individual in any profession has to consider their personal and family interests when they make big decisions in their life. Why should a professional cricketer be any different? We need to support him and protect him. He is a natural match-winner and a great asset for Sri Lanka. We should be grateful for his services and help him look after himself."

Dilshan could leave IPL by May 10

Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sri Lanka's newly appointed captain, is reportedly considering leaving the IPL on May 10 to join the Sri Lanka squad on their way to England, a week before the rest of the country's players currently playing in the Indian league are to depart.

The matter is being sorted at the board level between India and Sri Lanka, according to an official from Royal Challengers Bangalore, Dilshan's IPL franchise.

"Dilshan is keen to travel with the team, to try and create a bond as some of the senior players will be joining the squad a bit late," Roshan Abeysinghe, Dilshan's manager, told AFP.

Sri Lanka Cricket last week allowed seven players, part of the 16-man tour squad, to continue playing in the IPL and arrive in time for the second warm-up game, against England Lions, starting on May 19.

The board had earlier asked the players to return on May 5 in order to prepare for the England tour, which begins with a practice match against Middlesex on May 14. SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga had said that the selectors would pick an additional three to four players to make up the XI against Middlesex. Sri Lanka take on England in the first Test on May 26 at Cardiff.

SLC had originally given the Sri Lanka players till May 20 to play in the IPL, and following their change in the date, the BCCI had contacted Sri Lanka's board asking them to reconsider. The decision had sparked mixed reactions among the Sri Lanka players, with Muttiah Muralitharan criticising it, while new captain Dilshan said he did not mind it since playing for the country came before playing the IPL.

Playing for Sri Lanka bigger than IPL - Dilshan

Sri Lanka's newly appointed captain Tillakaratne Dilshan has said he doesn't mind leaving the IPL early in order to prepare for the upcoming tour of England. Dilshan is among the 11 Sri Lankan players who have been asked by Sri Lanka Cricket to return by May 5, in order to attend a training camp before leaving for England on May 11.

"Personally, I am not unhappy to return early," said Dilshan, who is on a brief visit to Colombo amid his IPL commitments with Royal Challengers Bangalore. "Playing for my country is more important than playing the IPL. I think everybody selected for the England tour will be happy to come early. We have a new interim coach [Stuart Law] and a new batting coach [Marvan Atapattu]. I am also new as captain. We need to prepare together to build up for the big England tour."

The Indian board, however, said it would ask its Sri Lankan counterpart to reconsider. "According to us, the Sri Lankan players were to stay here till May 21, as they had promised, and the franchises are also under the same impression," BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla said. "But now they want to go back early and it is not appropriate."

Apart from reaffirming his commitment to the national side, Dilshan has also toned down the flashier aspects of his image as he gets ready for captaincy. "Times have changed. I pierced my ear when my daughter cried when her ears were being pierced," he said. "Now I don't see a need to wear the earring. It's the same with my hair. [Streaking it] was fashionable then for me, it is not so now."

Dilshan, however, said he was not planning to tone down his attacking brand of cricket. "I have come this far today because of the way I play my cricket. I don't see any reason why I should change it. I am an aggressive player and I may apply that aggression to my captaincy as well, depending on the circumstances.

"Captaincy is a challenging role for me. It's a dream come true. I never expected it. I want to give it my best shot. I have played for nearly 12 years. It's been a very long journey to the top."

Dilshan said he was "lucky" to have two past captains - Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene - in the side and was looking forward to playing "good cricket" on the England tour. "We know they [England] are a strong side in their own conditions but we are capable of giving them a good run.

"We have an experienced batting line up and the first thing we need to do is to get used to the conditions there. We need to get acclimatised as quick as possible if we are to put up a good contest against England," he said.

The England tour will be Sri Lanka's first full series after the retirement of offspinner Muttiah Muralitharan, but Dilshan was confident his spinners - Ajantha Mendis, Rangana Herath and Suraj Randiv - would deliver. "We have to look forward to the new bowlers like Suraj Randiv," he said. "We are giving the opportunity to Suraj to do the job for us."

In the absence of Lasith Malinga, Sri Lanka's pace attack will be led by Dilhara Fernando, who has played 35 Tests. Chanaka Welegedara and Suranga Lakmal have played eight Tests between them, while fast bowler Nuwan Pradeep and bowling allrounder Thisara Perera are yet to make their Test debuts.

"I have the fullest confidence in my fast bowlers. Nuwan Pradeep is playing with me in the same team for Royal Challengers in the IPL and he is the best bowler in the squad." Dilshan said. "We want to give young fast bowlers a chance if we don't they'll never get the experience. We have given the opportunity to the young fast bowlers and I hope they will make use of it."

SLC had initially signed a No Objection Certificate (NOC) with its players allowing them to participate in the IPL until May 20. The tournament carries on until May 28, while the England tour kicks off with a warm-up game on May 14. The BCCI has been in talks with SLC, to convince them to allow their players to extend their IPL participation, but Sri Lanka is unlikely to relent.

"The BCCI has asked us to reconsider our decision, but we have not changed our stand," SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga said. "We did sign a no-objection agreement with the players to play in the IPL. But there was no date to return. I am sure the BCCI will understand country must come first before IPL."
