These days a captain has to  deal with issues that sometimes have got nothing to do with cricket." In modern-day cricket you get it. In the subcontinent you get a bit  more.  As a team we have tried to keep ourselves away from everything  but cricket. Sometimes you can't. Unfortunately it can affect relations  between players and administrators. It happens rarely, but certain  vested interests try.    The reality of Sri Lankan cricket is this: everyone loves cricket, from  administrators to normal people. They are always going to try to do  [what they think is] the right thing in their way. Everyone might not  agree on what the right thing is. And when you have such diverse  opinions, you butt heads. It sometimes tires you out, stresses you out.    But to me there is nothing more fun than playing the game. In Sri Lanka  we have established our own brand of cricket, like India have, Pakistan  have. We established it in 1996. We are very proud of that. What Arjuna  Ranatunga and his side gave us in 1996 is what we are trying to protect.   We have been trying to take it forward, build on it, work on it and  constantly improve. </blockquote>
