Guest gaurav_indian Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Sri Lanka's World Twenty20 squad Fast bowler Lasith Malinga has been included in Sri Lanka's squad for the World Twenty20 which begins on June 5 in England. Sri Lanka have also chosen uncapped allrounder Isuru Udana and 35-year old batsman Indika de Saram in their 15-man squad. Malinga has made only one appearance for Sri Lanka - against India in February 2009 - since the knee injury which ruled him out after the tour of Australia in early 2008. Malinga is currently playing for Mumbai Indians in the IPL and has been in excellent form, taking 11 wickets and conceding only 4.83 runs per over after six games. Udana is a 21-year-old fast bowler who has been training for a couple of years under Anusha Samaranayake , Sri Lanka's fast-bowling coach, who considers him to be a replacement for Chaminda Vaas. The World Twenty20 will be Kumar Sangakkara's first assignment as full-time captain after he took over from Mahela Jayawardene at the end of the Pakistan tour in March. Squad: Kumar Sangakkara (capt) Muttiah Muralitharan Sanath Jayasuriya Tillakaratne Dilshan Mahela Jayawardene Chamara Silva Angelo Mathews Ajantha Mendis Nuwan Kulasekara Thilan Thushara Lasith Malinga Isuru Udana Farveez Maharoof Jehan Mubarak Indika de Saram http://content.cricinfo.com/srilanka/content/current/story/402855.html With most of their players in good form they are strong contenders to win this years World T20.:nervous: Link to comment
Nash Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 No they are not. Some of them played well in IPL 2 but still as a team they are not able to win the matches. Jayasuriya is the only one guy can do this. Murli and malinga can be handle. So mandis.. No special batting talent they have. They might be reach in semi final.. Link to comment

Desi Cartman Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Dilshan?Sangakkara?Kuleskara?Tushara? except Sanga I dont see the rest shining in every game .. Plus Mahela is from the RD school of batting .. he does not fit in the T20 XI ... For example : how many people believe that Mahella can score a T20 hundred and how many believe he can do it more than once ? Link to comment
