Players should have a competitive attitude - Dilshan

Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sri Lanka's new captain talks to Dilanka Mannakkara in the Daily News on the upcoming tour of England,the new-look squad and how he will look to blend his aggressive approach with his captaincy.

I am a positive character so I always try to do positive things, be aggressive and win games. I might do some changes when compared to Sanga and Mahela because all of us think differently. I go to every match thinking that I want to win it so there might be a few changes on the field.

It is going to be tough and this time around in England especially the early part of the summer are very testing conditions for any player no matter how good you are The youngsters will have to adjust, but on the other hand even experienced players will find it difficult to play in England with the ball swinging around a lot. It is going to be a huge challenge for me but I have faith in my squad. The conditions are going to tough and there is a new coach and I am a new captain as well so I am eagerly awaiting for the challenging tour.It is a rebuilding phase and young blood needs to be infused to the team since we are aiming at the 2015 World Cup.
