Sri Lankan cricket has to ‘change’

Available for over a year

On this week's Stumped we hear from former Sri Lanka cricket captain Kumar Sangakkara who says since winning the World Cup in 1996, their players been held back by administrative upheaval and archaic systems where everyone is extremely resistant to change. Sangakarra who was this month inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, believes his country have now been surpassed by other cricketing nations and now is the ‘time to draw a line and say it’s enough’. Plus we debate the pros and cons of the format of the World Test Championship final and celebrate New Zealand becoming the inaugural winners. And we ask the question whether women's test matches should be extended to five days?
