Atapattu Mudiyanselage Chamari Jayangani has said that Franchise cricket is not all about money, it's about learning new skills, and culture and getting experience.
In a presser, she said: I know many women players from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka who are keen to feature in WBBL due to the standard and pace of cricket over here. I would urge franchises to give more South Asian girls an opportunity to shine in WBBL. WBBL is one of the best franchise leagues and I will take this knowledge to the young players of Sri Lanka. Kavish Dilhari, Vishmi and Harshita from Sri Lanka should be in the world's franchise leagues, she added.
She further said that Cricket Sri Lanka is also planning to organize a T10 Women's league in Sri Lanka in December. It would likely be a four-franchise-based tournament. I have a good relationship with England's Heather Knight and not getting any banter from Heather Knight. She is controlling the squad very well here in Sydney Thunders.
Always try to lead from the front when I wear a blue jersey from Sri Lanka. A message to all the young girls is to just focus on the present and play fearless. Don't think about the future, she asserted.
