How did they fall so far? This is the same country that produced:
A) The greatest spin hyperextension bowler of all time.
B) One of the greatest Test wicketkeeper-batters ever (debatable with a few like Gilchrist).
C) A revolutionary opener and all-rounder who was ahead of his time (Jayasuriya).
And plenty of other quality players like Dilshan, Tharanga, Malinga, and more.
This was the team that stunned Australia in the 1996 World Cup final, yet fast forward to today, and they’re a shadow of their former selves. Their last great moment was beating Australia at home in 2022, but since then, they’ve been mediocre in every format. What went wrong?
