Sri Lanka's Sunday Times comes down hard on Sri Lankan selectors' handling of Marvan Atapattu.
While reading the autobiography by former opener Roshan Mahanama or attending the tearful press conference given by allrounder Upul Chandana I felt that with a little more thoughtfulness those cases could have been handled better ... Even Sri Lanka’s most noteworthy No. 3 batsman Asanka Gurusinha left the game in sheer disgust soon after he had played a prominent role in Sri Lanka’s maiden World Cup triumph in 1996.

Meanwhile the Daily Mirror's Maxie Kariyawasam pays tribute to Mahes Rodrigo, a cricketing legend of yesteryear was not honoured at a recently held felicitation ceremony for Sri Lankan legends.
