Sri Lanka will be going to start a new start in the first Test match against New Zealand starting here on Saturday, bypassing their recent bad form and the turmoil outside the field. The Sri Lankan preparations were correct, but there was a lot of pressure on the change in the coaching staff and after losing three Test matches to England last month.
Former England cricketer Jonathan Lewis was appointed the batting coach of the team this week. Australia's Steve Rixon was appointed last week's fielding coach. Sri Lankan bowling coach Nuwan Joesa was suspended by the International Cricket Council in October for allegations of match-fixing and other corrupt activities.
Earlier this month, former captain Sanath Jayasuriya was accused of not cooperating in match-fixing investigation. Not only this, off-spinner Akila Dhananjay was suspended for illegal bowling action and after the defeat to England his national selection panel was sacked. Opening batsman Dimit Karunaratne admitted that it was difficult to focus on the series of two Test matches against New Zealand between this upheaval. He told the Wellington Dominion Post newspaper, 'It's not easy. The entire team management has been changed but we will be on the field with the same basics. We are trying to unite as a team. We will try our best to win. "
New Zealand will go to the fourth place with full confidence. He defeated Pakistan 49 years later in the Test series outside of his country. New Zealand coach Gary Steed, however, said that he would not take Sri Lanka lightly and his concern is about the fatigue of his players. He told New Zealand Radio, "Some players are still not out of fatigue. Not only this, we may need to play slow, bouncy, bouncy, rather than slow and turning wicket. We have to be cautious. '
