Sri Lanka must play more cricket

In Sri Lanka's Sunday Observer Elmo Rodrigopulle hails Sri Lanka's win in the tri-series final over India, but urges the team to remember that one swallow does not make a summer.

The cricketers will not have any cricket until Chris Gayle's West Indians arrive here in November later this year. Some of our star cricketers will have the opportunity of playing in the Indian Premier League and the counties, while the youngsters who showed great promise will be kicking their heels playing in the local scene. Sri Lanka Cricket will do well to probe all avenues and try and get the youngsters to play some international cricket where ever possible. They must use their influence with their counterparts in other countries and get the youngsters playing.
