..India tour of Sri Lanka-2012...
India is all set to tour its neighboring island nation for a 5 match ODI series and a T20I starting from the 21st of July. Despite being the finalists of last world cup, both these teams failed to reach the finals of recently concluded edition of Asia cup.
Since the World Cup, Sri Lanka’s main problem is that they are lacking a good captain. Although the was on Mathews after Sangakarra’s abdication, he was sidelined highlighting the point that he is too young for a such a big role. Dilshan’s leadership wasn’t note worthy. He failed to win any of the series he captained. Jayawardene, who stepped down as Sri Lanka’s captain in 2008, resumed captaincy after Dilshan. India beat Sri Lanka 4-1 in that tour. Jayawardene will hope to change things this time around. Sri Lanka is entering into the series with 1-0 test series victory and 3-1 ODI series victory against Pakistan at home.
