The Sri Lankan team has suffered a bit in recent times, and in order to strengthen the middle line, there are preparations to bring Angelo Mathews back to the team.

Accordingly, there are preparations to invite Mathews for the unofficial one-day tournament to be held in Colombo against the England Lions, which is scheduled to start on the 15th.

The main purpose of Mathews’ participation in this tournament is to give an opportunity to the Sri Lanka-New Zealand one-day series which starts on March 25.

It is uncertain whether the Sri Lankan team will participate in the ODI World Cup, which is scheduled to start in India in 2023. Sri Lanka is in the 9th position in the World Cup Super League points table, and the Sri Lankan team needs 15 more points to reach the 8th position.

For that, it is mandatory to win at least one match in the one-day series against the New Zealand team, or participate in the qualification selection tournament held in Zimbabwe before the 2023 World Cup.

ඇංජලෝ මැතිව්ස් හට යළිත් එක්දින වරම් හිමිවන ලකුණු

ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායම මෑත කාලයේදී තරමක පසු බෑ,මකට ලක්ව ඇති අතර, මැද පෙළ ශක්තිමත් කිරීමේ අරමුණින් ඇන්ජලෝ මැතිව්ස් නැවත කණ්ඩායමට ගෙන ඒමේ සූදානමක් පවතී.

ඒ අනුව ලබන 15 වෙනිදා ආරම්භ වීමට නියමිත එංගලන්ත ලයන්ස් පිලට එරෙහිව, කොළඹ පැවැත්වෙන නිල නොවන එක්දින තරගාවලිය සදහා මැතිව්ස් කැදවීමට සූදානමක් පවතී.

මෙම තරගාවලිය සදහා මැතිව්ස් සහභාගී කර වීමේ ප්‍රධානතම අරමුණ වන්නේ ලබන මාර්තු 25 වෙනිදා ආරම්භ වන ශ්‍රී ලංකා – නවසීලන්ත එක්දින තරගාවලියට අවස්ථාවක් ලබා දීමේ අරමුණ සහිතවය.

2023 වසරේ ඉන්දියාවේදී ආරම්භ වීමට නියමිත එක්දින ලෝක කුසලානයට ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායම එක එල්ලේම සහභාගී වීම අවිනිශ්චිත තාවයක පවතී. ලෝක කුසලාන සුපිරි ලීග ප්‍රසාද ලකුණු පුවරුවේ ශ්‍රී ලංකාව 9 වන ස්ථානයේ රැදී සිටින අතර, 8 වන ස්ථානයට පැමිණීමට ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායමට තවත් ලකුණු 15ක් අවශ්‍යව තිබේ.

ඒ සදහා නවසීලන්ත කණ්ඩායම හා පවත්වෙන එක්දින තරගාවලියේ එක් තරගයක් හෝ ජයග්‍රහණය කිරීම අනිවාර්‍ය් වන අතර, නැතහොත් 2023 ලෝක කුසලානයට පෙරතුව, සිම්බාබ්වේහිදී පැවත්වෙන සුදුසුකම් තේරීමේ තරගාවලියට සහභාගී විය යුතුය.

ஏஞ்சலோ மேத்யூஸ் மீண்டும் ஒருநாள் போட்டிகளில் விளையாடும் வாய்ப்பு

சமீபகாலமாக இலங்கை அணி சற்று நலிவடைந்து வருவதால், நடுவரிசையை பலப்படுத்தும் வகையில், ஏஞ்சலோ மேத்யூஸை மீண்டும் அணிக்கு கொண்டு வருவதற்கான ஏற்பாடுகள் நடந்து வருகின்றன.

இதன்படி எதிர்வரும் 15ஆம் திகதி ஆரம்பமாகவுள்ள இங்கிலாந்து லயன்ஸ் அணிக்கெதிராக கொழும்பில் நடைபெறவுள்ள உத்தியோகபூர்வமற்ற ஒரு நாள் போட்டிக்கு மெத்தியூஸை அழைப்பதற்கான ஏற்பாடுகள் இடம்பெற்றுள்ளன.

இந்த போட்டியில் மேத்யூஸ் பங்கேற்பதன் முக்கிய நோக்கம் மார்ச் 25ம் தேதி தொடங்கும் இலங்கை-நியூசிலாந்து ஒரு நாள் தொடருக்கு வாய்ப்பளிப்பதாகும்.

2023ஆம் ஆண்டு இந்தியாவில் தொடங்கவுள்ள ஒருநாள் உலகக் கிண்ணப் போட்டியில் இலங்கை அணி பங்கேற்பதா என்பது உறுதியாகத் தெரியவில்லை. உலகக் கோப்பை சூப்பர் லீக் புள்ளிகள் பட்டியலில் இலங்கை 9வது இடத்தில் உள்ளது, மேலும் 8வது இடத்தை அடைய இலங்கை அணிக்கு இன்னும் 15 புள்ளிகள் தேவை.

அதற்கு நியூசிலாந்து அணிக்கு எதிரான ஒருநாள் தொடரில் குறைந்தபட்சம் ஒரு போட்டியில் வெற்றி பெறுவது அல்லது 2023 உலகக் கோப்பைக்கு முன் ஜிம்பாப்வேயில் நடைபெறும் தகுதித் தேர்வுப் போட்டியில் பங்கேற்க வேண்டியது கட்டாயம்.
