Dilshan said Bangladesh domestic experience will help us
Tillakaratne Dilshan will back on his Bangladesh experience
He prepares for three limited-overs events
starting with the two Twenty20s against the home side. He was among 41 Sri
Lankans who played in this season's Dhaka Premier Division, a domestic one-day
competition.
Sri Lanka was the most represented
overseas country in this year's tournament, followed by England, with 15
players, Afghanistan, with eight, and Zimbabwe, with six.
Ajantha Mendis, Angelo Mathews,
Angelo Perera and Sachithra Senanayake, all members of the Sri Lanka Twenty20
team, have played for different clubs in the domestic competition. Dilshan made
one fifty in four games, with an average of 37.00, playing for MohammedanSporting Club. In 2013, he made 154 runs at 25.66 in seven matches for BPL
winners Dhaka Gladiators.
"We played a lot of cricket
here on and off," Dilshan said. "But technology is there so we keep
an eye on the newcomers. We have to play good cricket on the particular day,
especially in T20 cricket. We can't make any mistakes. It is important to be on
for all 40 overs. With one month left for the World Cup, this is good for both
teams.
"Every single game playing now
is important for us before the World T20s. We have to get prepared with the
conditions and weather."
Sri Lanka has a good mix of young
and experienced players, with Angelo Perera the new face. Dilshan, who will
open with Kusal perera, had words of praise for Dinesh Chandimal, the captain.
"I think [Chandimal] has done
really well in last few series," he said. "He is learning every
single game. I think it is good to give a youngster opportunity, and he is
proving to be a good captain so far.
"Kusal [Perera] is a fine
youngster we found. I am seeing his batting in the last two series. He is a
specialist at giving a good start. It is helpful for me as well, the way he
goes after the bowling in the first few overs. He puts the pressure on the
bowler. Sachitra [Senanayake] is a very good offspinner. It is a very good bunch."
