Sri Lanka team manager Asanka Gurusinha is an Exciting Character. He is multitasking! He is the manager of the Sri Lanka team. He is a selector is well. And, whenever Sri Lanka team goes for overseas tours, he acts as the Captain of the Ship.
Graham Ford took objection of Gurusinha multitasking qualities.
Though Legendary Kumar Sangakkara hailed him as one of the best Coach with men-management, the last update Cricket World heard about Ford, that he has been appointed as the head coach of Ireland!
Of late, Sanath Jayasuriya also raised questions about Gurusinha multitasking. The last update Cricket World heard about Jayasuriya, that he was in Dubai to present before the ICC ACU Unit with his lawyer Kalinga Indratissa to give his statement on the alleged match fixing charges made by former Sri Lanka fast bowler Pramodaya Wikramsenghe!
Now, even before the start of the first test against India, Gurusinha, who is also Sri Lanka team Unofficial Spokesperson, backed under performing Lahiru Thirimanne, but the reason he gave to backing him, Will surely make everyone amaze.
“The other thing is, he is more matured now than what he was two years back, as he is a father now. So he must be a better person now” he said in an attempt to back their decision to make Thirimanne is the vice-captain of the test team.
Now, it seems bizzare! Right from the beginning of his career, Thirimanne was a good batsman with a solid technique, and he could have been on of the mainstay of Sri Lanka batting. Unfortunately, Sri Lanka think tank always brought Thirimanne under immense pressure by unnecessarily labeling him as future great, future captain etc.
Now, as he somehow managed to overcome by these kind of false things with some solid performance in ODI cricket, just before an important, make or break series for him, Gurusinha again put him under pressure!
