Lanka Premier League a boon for youngsters as it prepares them for pressure situations: Arthur

COLOMBO: The outgoing chief coach of the Sri Lankan cricket team, Mickey Arthur, feels the Lanka Premier League (LPL) is a boon for younger players as it gives them the opportunity to play under pressure. The South African added that the league is playing an important role in the growth of Sri Lankan cricket. Under Arthur, the likes of Charith Asalanka, Lahiru Kumara and Wanindu Hasaranga have impressed with their performances around the world and the three have been showcasing their skills in the Lanka Premier League as well. "I think the Lanka Premier League is such a good tournament, particularly for the younger players, because it gives them an opportunity to play under pressure. There's a crowd and there's a good TV audience. You can go and play in the nets a million times, but you can't replicate this atmosphere at the ground." IANS
