(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – Asanka Gurusinha in his first interaction with the media since assuming duties as the manager of the national cricket team yesterday (06th Monday) said that he is ready to take up the challenge in taking Sri Lanka cricket to the next level.
“It’s a big challenge and I know,” he said. “But with a structure in place and the support from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), I believe we can achieve the objectives Sri Lanka Cricket has got right now. The World Cup in 2019 is our main target. I am glad to get the opportunity to work with some of the finest players. We will try and see whether we can improve a few things.
Gurusinha had not held any official positions with SLC since leaving to Australia soon after Sri Lanka’s World Cup victory in 1996 but revealed there were several approaches in the past.
