Tom Moody vows to shake up Sri Lanka team

Former Australian Test player Tom Moody on Thursday urged Sri Lanka to quit its “survival” mentality and promised to shake up the national team ahead of the 2019 World Cup.

The 55-year-old said he was planning a big cultural change in his first public remarks since being hired by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) last month to revive the team.

He said his observation so far was that Sri Lankan players were “just holding on” without making an extra effort and were merely trying to “survive”.

“We need to create an environment within the playing group… within the community of Sri Lanka cricket that (will make them) feel like they are thriving in the organisation, not surviving,” Moody said.

Moody was Sri Lanka’s head coach for two years until 2007 and was chosen for the new post of director at the local board because of his experience in Sri Lanka and abroad, the board said.

“My direction would be very much around allowing people to grow within the business and uplifting them,” Moody said. “Supporting them and giving them direction.”

His contract is for three years, going beyond the 2023 cricket World Cup.

Former skipper and technical advisor to Sri Lanka Cricket Aravinda de Silva said the side would ensure stricter discipline and greater emphasis on player fitness.

“We sometimes see compromises made regarding the fitness of certain players,” he said.

Anyone who did not measure up to the new standards will not be considered for selection, he added.

Sri Lanka finished eighth of nine teams in the inaugural World Test Championship — Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Ireland were not included.

In the ongoing tour of the West Indies, Sri Lanka has so far lost the T20 series 2-1 and the ODI series 3-0. The first of two Tests is underway.

They have lost both their recent Test series 2-0. Sri Lanka were beaten by an innings and 45 runs and then by 10 wickets in South Africa in December and January and then returned home and were outplayed by England in a pair of Tests.
