Dhananjaya De Silva Concerned Over Limited Test Schedule

Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva has voiced his disappointment over the country's restricted test match schedule, emphasizing that it poses a significant challenge for the team's progress in the world of cricket.

According to the current schedule, Sri Lanka is set to play only four test matches this year, a number that de Silva believes is not sufficient for a team of their caliber. The captain's concerns come as Sri Lanka prepares to face Australia in an ongoing two-match series, with the team's sights set on emerging victorious to improve their standing in the World Test Championship.

De Silva's hopes are pinned on the Sri Lanka Cricket board to organize more test series, providing the team with additional opportunities to showcase their skills and compete against other top teams. The captain's eagerness to discuss the possibility of playing more test series underscores the team's commitment to performing well in the Test format.

The team's current situation is further complicated by the need to win the upcoming series against Australia with a 2-0 margin to potentially finish third in the World Test Championship, provided they finish behind the finalists. This adds an extra layer of pressure on the team, making their limited schedule even more disadvantageous.

As the cricket world watches Sri Lanka's progress, de Silva's concerns highlight the importance of a robust schedule for teams aiming to make a mark in the Test format. The team's fate, and potentially their ranking, hangs in the balance, making the upcoming series against Australia a crucial one.
