“Ashwin has improved a lot in the recent past. He played really well in the recent matches. He has the experience and talent to showcase his skills in the upcoming ones.

“I am happy that the present Sri Lankan team is absolutely new. But I can notice the team is slacking a bit in overall performance these days. They should solve all their problems themselves and build on the reputation of the team. The retirement of Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and myself both from Test and ODI cricket has weakened the team but they need to move on,” said Murali when asked about the development of Sri Lankan cricket.

Though I am not a full-fledged coach, I will surely guide them in the best possible manner,” concluded the mentor of TNPL franchise VB Thiruvallur Veerans.
