Rumesh Ratnayake interim coach believes Sri Lanka should be better prepared for a quick pitch to be competitive in the tournament before next year's T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka caught Australia's attention in the three-game T20I series that ended on Friday after coming to Australia last month following a series of white washes from the world's # 1 team Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Visitors scored 99, 117 and 142 in three games for Australian bowlers, and Kusal Perera was the only player for half a century. They also did not have a hard time incorporating Australia's highest order, which flourished at home with David Warner scoring 217.<\/p>\n

Ratnayake suggested that the construction of Sri Lanka was inadequate and that they should be better prepared for the next year's World Cup.<\/p>\n

Ratnayake thought "we had a good fight" after the loss of Melbourne. "We learned a lot of lessons from this. Our preparation wasn't the maximum. I don't say it with such an excuse. But this is when we come back for the T20 series or soon Australian tour: we relate to the turnstile. By spending much more time on preparation, you have to simulate that kind of turnstile going home and play there.<\/p>\n

"It's just preparation and adaptation. We're going to play a lot on the subcontinent but at least six weeks ago [the World Cup] If we do not have a small tournament in Sri Lanka associated with the fast turnstile, we will be in this situation unless we simulate at the fast turnstile. But you saw the curve going well towards the end. But if you spend more time in Australia, you will know how and how to do it as you progress. "<\/p>\n

In the three-match series, the team's random selection raised eyebrows. O Shada Fernando and Banuka Raja Pak were successful batters on a Pakistan tour and Sri Lanka was a prominent player in a warm-up match against Prime Minister Canberra XI, but apart from bowlers, both games were suspended after the first match in Adelaide. In Melbourne's last game, he gave up 2 to 233 before being hit in the low middle order.<\/p>\n

Lahiru Kumara had an impressive bowling at Pakistan's limited opportunity, and thanks to his extra speed, the PM's XI bothered all sorts of things in Canberra. However, he did not play until the last match in Melbourne, and Warner and Aaron Finch caused more trouble than any other bowler. His figures of 1 in 49 were eventually expensive but he could split Finch twice and beat Warner with cracking deliveries in power play.<\/p>\n

Legs Spinner Wan Nindu Ha Lover, who was in charge of this series in Pakistan, was sent off from Melbourne in just three matches, with Adam Zampa being Australia's largest site where Australia was very effective.<\/p>\n

But Ratnayake argued that Sri Lanka's choice, led by chief selector Ashantha De Mel, was designed to give as many Australians as possible opportunities.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Rat Nayake said, "The idea behind him and the idea behind it was to be exposed to as many people as possible as the World Cup is coming next year." "We could choose to play Lahiru Kumara in this game or do some other seasoned campaigns, but I thought we would miss a good impression if we didn't give him another chance in this game.<\/p>\n

"He sent well and sent the bowl the quickest, but it's a learning curve for him. It's a learning path for him. Changes have been made so that the World Cup can be in Australia so everyone gets a chance in Australia. The future."<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka did not qualify for the Australian T20 World Cup final next year. They will have to play pre-round robin matches in Geelong against three of the six semi-qualifiers, including Scotland, Oman, Ireland, Papua New Guinea, Netherlands and Namibia.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were placed in four separate pools, with the top two teams in each pool going into the Super 12s phase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
