Ahead of the first T20I against India on Saturday, newly appointed Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka said he wants his players to give their 100 percent on the field and win matches in the IND vs SL series. India and Sri Lanka will play a three-match T20I series followed by as many ODIs. Asalanka acknowledged the fact that they have talented players in the squad and as a captain of the side, he has given them freedom to express themselves freely on the field.
"What I really want is to get 100% out of my players, and to create a positive environment for them. We have a lot of talented cricketers, but what`s important is to get the most out of them and have them win matches. I`ve told them to play freely and when we`ve given them plans, to go out there and execute them without fear. That`s what you can expect from me as a captain," Asalanka said on the eve of the series opener.
