Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka has decided to skip the 2026 Lanka Premier League (LPL) in order to focus on recovering from a long-standing injury following Sri Lanka’s upcoming tour of the West Indies.
Nissanka, currently Sri Lanka’s highest-ranked T20I batter, has been involved in continuous cricket over the past year, including commitments in international cricket and the Indian Premier League (IPL).

I am not a wee bit interested in the LPL draft. I am not a wee bit interested in the West Indies tour. Did not follow the IPL completely, and the matches I followed, I followed without thinking much. Proper adulting.👍

“If you drop a catch, you’re not going to play the next game” — Gary Kirsten says fear is not the way to develop cricketers.
“You should improve players by creating an environment they enjoy, not one they fear.”
Kirsten says School coaches should be judged not just by wins, but by the talent they produce:
“I don’t care if you lost games… if you’ve found a leg spinner, a batsman scoring hundreds, or a fast bowler bowling 135+, you’re doing a fantastic job.”

A father can be proud of his son for any achievement, however simple. You have no right to judge that. Man, the weight that dude carries on his shoulders just because his father is a god to some people.
Did he get the opportunity because of his father ? Yes but that’s life #ipl
