After few weeks of clear skies, The Greater Colombo Area is once again under heavy overcast conditions which threaten, yet again, to hinder Aravinda de Silva’s selection panel as Premier League Tier-A Limited Overs Tournament has got another rescheduling. Sri Lankan selection committee, led by Aravinda de Silva, is eyeing this Tournament to weigh the respective performance before they announce their final ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 squad.
The rough weather conditions in early December made the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) to rearrange their five-match ODI series to late January, the Sri Lankan selectors found themselves faced with a situation where they would be left to rely on the Premier League Tier-A Limited Overs Tournament to finalise their World Cup squad.
On the other hand, Aravinda de Silva, the Chairman of Selectors, told media earlier this month that selection committee had already identified 11 players to be named in Sri Lanka’s final 15-man squad, thereby giving the impression that the selectors were close to finalising the squad ahead of the January 19 deadline.
