Aravinda de Silva To Join Sri Lanka Team in February
Sri Lanka vice captain Aravinda de Silva has confirmed that he
will return to Colombo by early February to join the Sri Lanka
team which will make a five-week tour of New Zealand from February 26 next year.
According to informed sources in Auckland, where De Silva is
currently playing for the State team in New Zealand`s premier
league tournament, the dashing middle order batsman is hoping to
return to Colombo before two weeks to the Kiwi tour. De Silva
has scored 44 runs for Auckland in his first match in the Shell
Cup competiton.
The Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL) took an
unanimous decision at its recent Ex-Co meeting that a national
cricketer playing in a major competition in any country should
return home two weeks before the national team undertakes a tour,
and a cricketer playing in a minor competition in any country,
four to five weeks prior to departure.
