Colombo, December 8: Mickey Arthur, the former Sri Lankan head coach who made big strides, credited the Lanka Premier League for contributing greatly to the development of young Sri Lankan players, saying that the tournament offers them an opportunity to play under pressure.Arthur led the island nation to a great finish in the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2021, in which the whole team, and especially the likes of Charith Asalanka, Lahiru Kumara, and Wanindu Hasaranga impressed the world with their performances.I think the Lanka Premier League is a good tournament, particularly for the younger players, because it gives them an opportunity to play under pressure.There is a large audience, and there is a large television audience.
According to the former Sri Lankan Head Coach, the Lanka Premier League has given young Sri Lankan players an opportunity to showcase their skills and talent at a global level.Talking about the domestic players playing with international players like Wahab Riaz and Shoaib Malik, he said, The LPL, like the IPL, PSL, and the Big Bash League are giving them a chance to experience the heart that goes into international cricket before they go into international cricket.The South African noted that after a political crisis in Sri Lanka, Shoaib Malik and other players would help young players to come up with whatever they want, and that makes the competition run as professional players raise the standards and, above all, allows young Sri Lankan players to rub shoulders with these guys and become better players.This is like my second home. I know people have been through a rough time, but I am 100% positive that the LPL will bring back smiles on their faces because there is one thing that unites everyone in this world, and that is cricket.Micky has been appointed as the head coach for Dambulla Aura.I spoke with a few of the young players about the team and the area where he will be working, he said.We have some excellent international players, but I want to make sure we've turned those young players into a better player as we leave, with or without the trophy, and that's my job as the franchise's coach.
