Jayawardene likely to be offered captaincy
- Thread starter DUWANA MINADAYA
- Start date
Mahela Jayawardene is likely to be asked to take over as Sri Lanka captain from Tillakaratne Dilshan following the South Africa series. When asked at a press conference whether he would accept the offer to lead the team again, Jayawardene said, "I will have to think about it. I will need some time."
Sri Lanka's Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage has, however, denied reports that the sports ministry was planning to replace the current selection committee, coach and captain of the Sri Lankan team. "No decision has been taken so far to replace or to change the Selection Committee and the Management of Sri Lanka Cricket or the Captaincy of the Sri Lankan Cricket Team," Aluthgamage said in a statement issued by the ministry.
The minister's denial came in the wake of a story in the Daily Mirror that claimed the selectors, Dilshan and coach Geoff Marsh were on the verge of being replaced following Sri Lanka's loss in the third ODI against South Africa, a defeat that cost them the series.
The minister did, however, point out that it was the "responsibility of the Sri Lankan government and the Sports Ministry" to take "stern and appropriate action" to ensure that Sri Lankan side becomes "the number one team in the world." The ministry, he said, would not hesitate to take decisions that would improve the team's fortunes for the future. Upali Dharmadasa, the president of Sri Lanka Cricket, has already been asked to submit a report to the ministry on the team's recent string of poor performances.
Sri Lanka have struggled since the retirement of Muttiah Muralitharan in July 2010, winning just one Test over the last 18 months, though that one was an historic first-ever victory on South African soil last month. They did finish runner's up in the 2011 World Cup final in April 2011, but since then have lost one-day series against England, Australia, Pakistan and now South Africa.

best captain after arjuna.. but sad is people wont remember what he did.. everyone talks about Sangakkara. when MAHELA taking the team, team performance are very weak. but he knew to manage players very well. he had many tac tics.. never give up till the last ball. Still he got the best field settings..
best example is 2007 world cup... He haven't had the very form team like 2011. he had a average team. in many matches top 3 batsmans failed. but he took the team to final. if rain didn't come on that day. sure we were world champions.
and their is a good example 2007 WC super8 match with england.. just watch it. you will see who is the BEST..
i'm not saying sanga isn't gud.. he is a very gud gentleman cricketer. but many times he won with luck and super preforming team.
but now as I see better man is MAHELA... or just forget everything and offer the team to MATTHEWS for new begining.

Mahela is a calm and cool captainsuitable !
but his recent performance as a no 4 batsman very poor
but his recent performance as a no 4 batsman very poor
yep.. hope it will recover soon.. better if he bats on no:5 position.. dats da best place for him now..
yes i agree.. but as captain and as a calm player he better suit for down the order ( remember 2011 wc final ) tharanga doing gud as a opener.. dilshan just need to come his own form..
Mahela is a wonderful captain no doubt, but I wonder what would happen if Mathews was given a chance
(of course hoping he would recover from his current terrible form very soon indeed)
