Young Sri Lankan opener Tharanga Paranavithana is in no way a man who can relax on the high pedestal, thinking that his place is preserved even for Sri Lanka’s very next Test innings. He may have batted with a lot of grit and technique and also may be the potentially better batsman suited for the top slot, but, yet he is a man who is fighting for survival, grasping for breath and is engaged in an intense battle to be No1 choice in the Lankan batting order.

Lankans looking for ODI reprieve

After their unexpected reverse in the T-20 exchanges the Lankan lads will be looking for reprieve when they take on the Kiwis in the opening game of the Tri-Series which will also involve India.
