Angelo Mathews to the T20 team !

Mathews, who was called up as a replacement to India for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, forms a part of a strong batting group that has vice-captain Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Pathum Nissanka, whose inclusion is subject to fitness.There are also all-rounders in plenty in the squad with Dhananjaya de Silva and Mathews joined by Dasun Shanaka, Hasaranga and Kamindu Mendis.Dilshan Madushanka and Dushmantha Chameera leads the pace attack that also has the exciting Nuwan Thushara and Matheesha Pathirana.Hasaranga is joined in the spin department by Maheesh Theekshana and Akila Dananjaya, who like Mathews, last played a T20I in 2021.

I personally do not like the decision of calling Mathews to the T20 team again. He should be called for the ODI team as our middle order is not performing in ODI team and I think he can be a better replacement. Anyway he is a champion player and we don't know what will happen. So let's wait and see the result of this new decision by the selection committee.
