Late to comment. Impressive knowledge Jeesh. Do you, however, have any more thoughts on the quoted section? Can you expand on it? I fully agree that we should use unorthodox scouting to find those rare fit players from rural areas, who could be fine tuned into fast bowlers.

The lesson is we may not be able to find a Malinga in the nets of Abahani practicing with a leather ball. We need to widen our search parameters. We need to look at villages, rural school cricket and often resort to the unlikeliest places to find a future fast bowler. Sounds easy in theory, but how can we implement this? This is where the decentralization of cricket will help. Individual’s delegated responsibility of promoting cricket in the different regions must scout for such prospects and bring them into the system. This has been one Sri Lanka’s key success factors-the ability to discover and bring in young talent from around the country.
