“Since I retired, I’ve been in and out the country, so I don’t really understand what’s happening there. Without knowing, giving my thoughts won’t be right. But I agree, there is a problem and the performance has come down.”

“They have to rectify it. They have to solve their own problems. Mahela or Sangakkara or myself won’t be a solution because we all have different commitments at the moment.”
