Sri Lanka then lost to the same opposition 2-1 in Antigua under an “ad-hoc Captain” in Angelo Mathews. Shanaka was officially appointed as Sri Lanka T20I Captain on 22 February this year before the team’s West Indies tour. On 9 April, former Sri Lanka fast bowler Pramodya Wickramasinghe was appointed as Head of a six-member selection committee to oversee selections. It can be recalled anyway that whoever is going to captain Sri Lanka, he needs to be a “team man” not a “lone man”. Then, is Kusal Perera appointed as Sri Lanka white-ball Captain purely on merit?
