The 30-year-old left-arm spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya, who won a Test debut in the second Test match against Australia recently, won the ICC Player of the Month award for July by the International Cricket Council.

Sri Lankan spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya won the ICC Player of the Month award after defeating England’s great batsman Jonny Bairstow and France’s rising batsman Gustave McCain who was nominated for the ICC Player of the Month for July.

In the second Test match against Australia, Sri Lanka was able to win the match by an innings and 39 runs and end the series in a draw as Prabath took six wickets for 118 runs in the first innings and six wickets for 59 runs in the second innings.

In the first test match against Pakistan, he managed to take five wickets in the first innings, equaling a world record. And due to the fact that he did not get one more wicket in the second innings, he missed the chance of being the only player who took five wickets in the first four innings. However, he managed to take nine wickets for 217 runs in the two innings in that match.

However, in the second Test match against Pakistan, he took three wickets for 80 runs in the first innings and took five wickets for 117 runs in the second innings, which helped Sri Lanka win by 246 runs.

When asked about this victory, he did not forget to express his gratitude to his fans, teammates, and coaches as well as his family and everyone who supported him for this.

Prabhat Jayasuriya has so far taken 29 wickets in three Test matches and two ODIs. Also, England’s emerging all-rounder Emma Lamb was named the ICC player of the month in July by passing England player Nat Sciver and Indian fast bowler Renuka Singh.

Shammi Silva Re-Elected as Sri Lanka Cricket President for Fourth Consecutive Term

Published

on

By

Shammi Silva has been re-elected as the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) president for the 2025-27 term, marking his fourth consecutive tenure at the helm of the nation’s cricket governing body. Silva secured the position uncontested at the 64th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Colombo on Monday.

A Controversial Yet Dominant Tenure

Silva’s leadership has not been without controversy. His previous term saw a high-profile clash with former Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe in 2023, which led to an interim committee being appointed after Sri Lanka’s poor performance in the ICC ODI World Cup. This move resulted in ICC suspending SLC, which led to Sri Lanka losing the hosting rights for the U19 Men’s World Cup, which was later held in South Africa.

Despite these setbacks, Silva regained control after a court ruling reinstated his administration, and he was later appointed as the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) in December 2023, replacing Jay Shah.

Challenges & Future Outlook

Sri Lanka Cricket has long been seen as a powerful and influential body, with internal politics often shaping its leadership. With financial mismanagement concerns highlighted in the Auditor General’s report, Silva’s administration faces the challenge of restoring credibility and ensuring better governance.

With the ICC ban lifted, Sri Lanka looks to rebuild its cricketing structure and improve performance on the international stage. The focus now shifts to upcoming bilateral series, the Asia Cup, and preparations for the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup.

Stay tuned for more updates on Sri Lanka Cricket and the latest in the world of sports!

Stephen Fleming Defends MS Dhoni’s Batting Position Amid Criticism

Published

on

By

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming has defended MS Dhoni’s late entry in the batting order, stating that the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman cannot play an extended innings at full intensity due to lingering knee concerns.

The 43-year-old Dhoni faced criticism after coming in at No. 9 during CSK’s 50-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk. In the next match against Rajasthan Royals on March 30, 2025, he batted at No. 7 when CSK required 54 off 25 balls but managed just 16 off 11 as his team fell short by six runs.

Fleming’s Explanation on Dhoni’s Role

Fleming emphasized that Dhoni carefully assesses the match situation before deciding when to bat.

“It’s all about timing. MS judges his body and situation. His knees aren’t what they used to be, so he can’t bat for 10 overs at full intensity. He will step in based on the game’s demands,” Fleming explained at the post-match press conference.

The CSK coach reiterated that Dhoni remains too valuable to the team for his leadership and wicketkeeping and that sending him in too early could be a strategic misstep.

“From around the 13th or 14th over, he assesses the situation and decides. He trusts other batters early on but steps up when needed.”

CSK’s Struggles in the Powerplay Cost Them the Match

Fleming also pinpointed CSK’s poor powerplay performance as a key reason for their loss against Rajasthan Royals. While RR blasted 79/1 in the powerplay, CSK only managed 42/1,
