In truth had I known he was eligible I’d have gone for him first and then perhaps made another pick in this round but not to worry,
Dilruwan Perera is still available to pick. He’s still going strong in the Sri Lankan domestic scene with a fifty already in the new FC season and a three wicket haul to add to it. He hasn’t been a standout performer in any of the recent tournaments other than last year’s List A tourney but his performances have been thoroughly respectable if not good with the ball. Did a serviceable job for the Lankan side as Herath’s underling before the latter’s retirement forced him into a leading spin role that he was ill suited for. Getting a player over forty who is still active and consistent in all three formats of the game is a good deal though and it’s one I’ll happily take.
In our side he’ll be the holding spinner in all three formats and someone we can use to extend the batting depth if needed.
@Neo 7 to continue.
