Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews wants selectors to conduct a fitness test. Mathews was snub from the captaincy role. The Sri Lanka selectors have told Angelo Mathews he would not make the cut for the series against England. Therefore, the selectors have raised question marks over his fitness.
Thus, Mathews was shown the exit doors from the captaincy duties. Subsequently, he is asking the selectors to conduct the fitness tests. Therefore, there seems to be some feud going on between Mathews and Sri Lanka selectors.
Selectors have raised questions over Angelo Mathews fitness.
Surprisingly, the Sri Lankan selectors have passed on their judgement without any fitness test. Meanwhile, Mathews had to pass on the captaincy baton to Dinesh Chandimal after their ignominious exit from the Asia Cup. The Island nation had lost the first match against Bangladesh by 136 runs and the second one against Afghanistan by 91 runs.
Mathews is getting criticise for team???s poor show.
Thus, it was a poor display of performance from the Mathews-led side. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will play five ODI matches against England. Sri Lanka and England will play the first One-Dayer on 10 October.
In fact, this is the second time in the year when Mathews has handed over the captaincy reins.
A Sri Lankan journalist took to his Twitter Account to confirm the news as Sri Lanka sources said. His post read, ???Angelo Mathews has demanded a fitness test from selectors after he is been told he will be not picked for the upcoming England series over fitness concerns even before going through a fitness test ??? SLC sources???.
Here is the tweet.
