Theekshana hits out at Sri Lanka's gruelling WC schedule

Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana hit out at the overwhelming Scene Cup plan that his group has been put through, calling it 'unjustifiable'. Sri Lanka are one of just two groups (other is Netherlands) who are playing their four gathering stage matches in four unique scenes. It doesn't end there - Sri Lanka's inn in New York where they opened their mission against South Africa on June 3 was an hour and 40 minutes from the setting. The Asian side have additionally needed to manage deferred flights and hours spent at air terminals. "So uncalled for us, we need to leave consistently [after the match] on the grounds that we are playing [at] four distinct scenes," Theekshana said after his group's loss to South Africa. "It's unreasonable. The flight we took from Florida, from Miami, we needed to stand by like eight hours in the air terminal to get the flight. What's more, we came around. We should leave at 8pm however we got the trip at 5am. It's truly unjustifiable for us, however it doesn't make any difference when you play [on the field]." "I can't say the names of the groups that have the valuable chance to remain in a similar spot yet their inn is just 14 minutes to the ground. Our own resembled one hour and 40 minutes," he added, prior to conceding that Sri Lanka dropped one of their instructional courses in light of weakness from movement and the distance they needed to cover to rehearse. "Since even from the lodging, it's one hour and 40 minutes. Indeed, even today [match day], we needed to awaken around 5am to come here," Theekshana said. Theekshana likewise figured that playing each game in various settings denies Sri Lanka of having the option to rapidly be aware or survey conditions. Their game against South Africa was the first of the World Cup in New York where they picked to bat first and collapsed for 77 in a six-wicket rout. "Every one of the four games in four settings. It's hard. We didn't know [anything about the circumstances here]. This was our most memorable game in New York. Next game in Dallas, we don't know [anything about the circumstances there]. Next game is in Florida where we played two games, that is the main in addition to point we have," Theekshana said. Their resistance on June 3 - South Africa - have the advantage of playing two additional games in New York while India - who start their mission against Ireland on June 5, will likewise play three apparatuses at a similar scene prior to going to Florida for their last of the gathering stage. "I can't say the [names of the] groups that are playing in a similar setting, so they understand what the circumstances are like. They're playing practice games at a similar setting. Nobody will get that. We played the training games in Florida, and our third game's in Florida. Theekshana likewise uncovered how the Sri Lankan group has needed to rush around on movement days as well as get together rapidly and leave after they've recently played a match. "There's certain things that I believe that everybody will reevaluate about the following year since I realize that this year, nothing will change. Our administration is attempting to fix the present flight likewise on the grounds that we are playing, we need to pack everything and [leave]. We awakened around 5.30 to come here, and [it plays on the psyche, what] in the event that we miss something here [while pressing in a hurry]," he said. Sri Lanka chief Wanindu Hasaranga would have rather not ascribed these calculated bad dreams to his group's horrible showing against South Africa yet repeated Theekshana's considerations about how intense his group have it at the World Cup. "We can't say that [it impacted performance], however we had difficult stretches, particularly over the most recent couple of days. We actually travel one and a half hours toward the beginning of the day [of game day], and we have our first cycle four games in quite a while," he said. Sri Lanka have a three-day completion time before their next game against Bangladesh on June 7 in Dallas. From that point onward, they travel to Florida for their game against Nepal on June 11 preceding going to St. Lucia for their last gathering stage match against Netherlands on June 16.
