It is fine that finally one of our players got the hundred but honestly speaking I was expecting much more from my top order. Before the series I told my boys that this was a chance for them to make it but it did not happen sadly.
We are confident to make something different on our home soil. We will try our best to make an impression in the first game. Sri Lanka may miss some senior players but they are still very strong opponents. One can't call them a second-string side.
True, they have lot of world class players and they have been dominating Test cricket for many years. We respect them fully but we are not afraid at all. We've nothing to lose, everything to gain. It will be a great motivation for us.
The national team players are very serious to perform well in the competition.
No team could be compared with them but we are counting on the good cricket we've played recently. I have little doubt about the ability of my players and I want stubborn efforts from them.
