Sri Lankan batsman Dhananjaya De Silva has denied media reports which claimed that he has refused to bat at 7 in ODIs for Sri Lanka.
“The story circulating in social media saying that I have refused to bat at No. 7 during tomorrow’s game is false, and I wish to state that I am a player who always stands with the team.” Dhananjaya De Silva said in a tweet.
Earlier today, Senior Cricket Commentator Roshan Abeysinghe tweeted that Dhananjaya de Silva has refused to bat at No. 7 in tomorrow’s match against New Zealand & hence not included in the team.
Meanwhile, Former Sri Lanka fast bowler Lasith Malinga tweeted that Dhananjaya de Silva must play in the top 4.
“Dhananjaya De Silva is such a valuable asset to any international cricket team. He is a proper top order batsman who must play in the top 4 on any condition with any team combination. His bowling adds a lot of value as well” Malinga tweeted.
