NEW DELHI: Sri Lankan cricket legend Sanath Jayasuriya has come to the defense of Pallekele as one of the venues for the ongoing Asia Cup, addressing criticism about the choice of venues. Jayasuriya mentioned that the city has experienced "unusual weather" in the past few days, leading to concerns about rain affecting matches.
The decision to co-host the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka instead of the UAE has faced criticism, especially after the second half of the India-Pakistan match was washed out, and the match against Nepal was affected by rain.
