Malinga and Mathews have both been declared fit enough to be included in Sri Lanka's World Twenty20 squad, though there is no place in the team for Lahiru Thirimanne. That is a bit surprising to me as he can be such a destructive batsman. Vandersay ahead of Seekuge Prasanna and Dilshan Munaweera is another interesting decision.

Sri Lanka squad: Lasith Malinga (capt), Angelo Mathews (vice-capt), Dinesh Chandimal, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Shehan Jayasuriya, Milinda Siriwardana, Dasun Shanaka, Chamara Kapugedera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Dushmantha Chameera, Thisara Perera, Sachithra Senanayake, Rangana Herath, Jeffrey Vandersay

Sri Lanka have always excelled in the World Twenty20, twice finishing runners-up and winning it in 2014.

Malinga and Matthews both looked out of shape, although the have somehow passed the fitness test. This team is very young and it is yet to be seen whether it can handle the pressure. The subcontinent conditions will help them, they will hopong Senanayake and Herath pull them to victory.

Lasith Malinga's knee injury has unfortunately forced him out of the tournament. He will be replaced by legspinner Jeffrey Vandersay, who was in the initial squad, but replaced just 24-hours before the team left for India. What a roller coaster of emotions for Vandersay. Also, a rather awkward conversation between he and the new selectors, I am sure.

Malinga is still not at his best fitness level. He is the much needed bowler for SL. I think this year's SL is a significantly weaker side than their earlier years. They are going through a generation transition with seniors retiring left and right.
The match today will be one to watch for.

I'll be playing 'catch-up' watching this game ... pretty much as I have been so far/and will be with all the matches because of time difference.  Only match I've watched 'live' so far was AUS vs NZ cos that was decent timing......

Matches start normally around 1:00 am my time ........ can't do it unless a bout of insomnia sets in. !!! ::yawn::

Sorry Dillinger and Ketch ... can't join you guys like the WC last year on 'de wagon' :-[ :-[

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now.
