Sri Lankan team is hard to beat says Cameron White – Cricket News Update
Australia’s Twenty20 skipper, Cameron White, while talking at the official tour launch on Tuesday, in Colombo, said that the Sri Lankan team is very hard to beat, so his side needs to play well in the upcoming series.

White revealed that they have spent a good couple of days while preparing hard for the series. He was hopeful that his side’s preparations would come up with some fine results.
