Players quotes:
Kumar sangakkara: New venues Pallekele and hambontota are under construction will be of world class facilities and we will try to bringout the best from us and will strive hard to become champions like the team which won the 1996 world cup.
MS dhoni: 2007 world cup was not the best as far as india is concerned and will try to bring out the best for the world cup. we have the best squad with a mix of both experiance and talent But the main worry will be the form.the youngsters in the present team will be experianced enough by the time of world cup. Sachin is the best weapon we have at the moment and will use him to the best and he can continue to play even for 2015 world cup if he wishes.
Its the place where any of the best team loses to a weak team
