Nidahas Tri Series 2018: SLC Chief bats for more India - SL matches

India and Sri Lanka have played six Tests, eight ODIs, and four T20s in the last nine months.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) doesn't seem satisfied with the latest International cricketing affair with India, as its president Thilanga Sumathipala wants to play more cricket with them even though they have contested each other in 12 Tests, 15 T20s, and an astounding 62 ODIs in the last decade. 

Citing an example of Australia-England, who have been playing each other many times as compared to other nations, Sumathipala said'they should play more with India'.

As per Hindustan Times, Sumathipala said at the inauguration of Sri Lanka’s new Brain Centre, for player development, “Australia is playing England in the Ashes many times. They play five Tests. So, we feel we should play more with India. They are the No 1 side. Except this tournament, all were bilateral series agreed by the FTP (Future Tours Programme). It sometimes happens that teams play each other frequently while some don’t play for 6-7 years due to FTP pressures.”

Meanwhile, India and Sri Lanka have played six Tests, eight ODIs, and four T20s in the last nine months, and currently playing in the Nidahas Trophy T20 tri-series, also involving Bangladesh.

Sumathipala also said that SLC’ main aim is to revive the Sri Lanka Premier League. He signed off by saying, “We want to launch this year and are looking at a window for the next few years. SLPL was stopped half-way through the last time and we want to make it commercially viable this time. The dates are August 18 to September 10, which will be followed by the Asia Cup.”

It should be named 'Niraash Trophy' then. The 'niraash' of playing so many games against Sri Lankas.

 

On the positive note, more chances of tailunt getting his first 300.

Please, no. 

 

In fact now that he mentions it, can we have less India SL matches?

[WC2011INDIA]

Sure....that will boost the averages of Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli. Each one of them have to get 12000+ odi runs to inflate their egos.

His face reminds me of a kid whose penis got stuck in the zip few months ago...I had to help him as his granny didn't know what to do.

I rather have India play SL than BD or Pakistan.

[Late Cut]

A team bereft of talent and full of trundlers. Maybe they can be a Ranji side.

[kosingh]

Yeah well every country wants to play more with India. So tough luck.

If that keeps China out of the Emerald nation then I’m ready to go through the ordeal.

What was the age of kid??

Send fringe players to SL. Both boards happy, SL fans happy, India fans happy.

SL asking back favours for supporting us in the big-3 vote.

 

[sourab10forever]

We have played 6 tests with SL in the last 6 months. Plus 3 in 2016

That mean we have played only 3 tests with them in 8 years before that?

Calling for a 5 match test series to make up for it

It happened with me when I was 9 , what worst it happened in train and that train had 24 hour journey still ahead and if you think it could not be more worse my family of 4 was travelling on barely 2 seats in sleeper class

 

Dad just told me to bear the pain and only when we reached home dad has to cut the shorts because he too was unable to remove that zip.Then he took me to doctor who removed it in 1 minute

 

Actually if zip goes down fast the it can take anything in its way including some skin

That kid and I must be related.  I got it stuck in the zipper at a young age and, every now and then into my frikkin' early twenties would continue to get it stuck.... 

 

And I can prolly explain exactly how it happened, but that would come under TMI.

 

Edit- never stuck it as badly as Singh bling saab above.
