Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardena has hinted few changes in the batting order in an interview with Sri Lankan newspaper - Divaina.
"Probably I will have to bat in the middle order. Dilshan Munaweera is in a great form, so he deserves that opportunity I think. And few other youngsters are also in the team. They need to be settled in their positions."
So according to Mahela, T.M. Dilshan & Dilshan Munaweera will open the innings for Sri Lanka in the World T20 & skipper is ready to give up his position for the sake of team (Country) and youngsters.
Munaweera has been the highest run getter in recently ended SLPL with 212 runs at 35.33. His strike rate of 144.21 is the highest among top 5 run getters. He was the best batsman in Inter-Provincial - 4 day tournament, best batsman & man of the series in U23 - 2 day tournament and best batsman in U23 - One Day tournament.
