In a letter to the media, Pramodya Wickramasinghe, the outgoing chairman of selectors has said that the current group of young cricketers in the national squad will achieve great heights after gaining valuable experience in the next two years.

“My Dear Friends of the Media, as you are aware the tenure of my Chairmanship of the National Cricket Selection Committee has come to a conclusion. It is no secret to the cricketing fraternity that the last two and a half years for Sri Lanka Cricket has been a challenging one,” states Wickramasinghe.

“Regardless of these challenges, it is my belief that I and my fellow selectors have found several highly talented young cricketers who will be the future of the Sri Lankan cricket team. This current group of young cricketers will achieve great heights after gaining much valuable experience within the next two years. As the Chairman of Selectors I had to make many hard and unpopular decisions and I would like to reiterate that these decisions were made with the best interest of Sri Lanka Cricket in mind.”

“As the outgoing Chairman I wish the very best to the incoming selection committee and express confidence in them to take Sri Lanka Cricket forward. I also take this opportunity to thank the Sri Lankan media personnel for all the support extended to me along with all the constructive criticism which came along the way.”
