"We Have Plans To Counter Bazball": Sanath Jayasuriya's Bold Statement Ahead Of England vs Sri Lanka Test Series

Sanath Jayasuriya, the interim Sri Lanka men's head coach, believes the Test team set to play three games against England in the latter half of the summer is a great opportunity, citing the conditions will suit the visitors. Sri Lanka starts their Test series against England on August 21 at Old Trafford in Manchester. “The fact that we have got a late-summer tour is great, because the wickets have been used a lot, and there's more sunshine at this time of year. It's more similar to our conditions than the early summer tours. I have made sure the players know it's a great opportunity,” Jayasuriya told ESPNCricinfo.

Watch: As Controversial DRS Call Saves Virat Kohli, Sri Lanka Star Throws Away His Helmet

A controversy took place during the second ODI between India and Sri Lanka at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Sunday. On the final ball of the 15th over, an Akila Dananjaya delivery caught Virat Kohli right in front of the stumps and umpire also raised his finger over the LBW appeal made by the Sri Lankan players. Kohli had a chat with non-striker Shubman Gill and then he went upstairs. A review put the third umpire in a big dilemma. This is because the UltraEdge showed a spike when the ball crossed Kohli's bat before hitting his pad, but the visuals showed that there was a good gap between the bat and the ball during that time.
