Really think Maxwell is more suited to bat at 7 and bowl very useful offies as one of the primary 5th options.

Pathum Nissanka and Asalanka would make claims for the middle order. Problem with us is that all these players played in a very compact time. Other than for that era, cupboard is truely empty for us.
Great team

Kulasekara was ranked number 1 for a while and that should count for something. Mendis was pretty meh once the mystery was decoded

There is a lot of case for Kulasekara as well as Rumesh Ratnayeke. But Mendis is the wild card, when he fires, other side go in flames.

Wanindu Hasaranga easily gets in over Ajantha Mendis in this side, especially when you consider his batting as well.

Yes i would include Hasaranga for Ajantha Mendis , Hasaranga 3 dimensional cricketer with batting, bowling and fielding quality..

Also in a SL ATG side there will be so many bowling options , Jayasuriya, Dilshan , Aravinda ,Mathews , Ranatunga that's over 600 ODI wickets from batsmen alone. Can afford to look at balance and have a longer batting line up

Hasaranga is very good, but so was Kulasekera
