In the case of Dilshan, he was not a great finisher; he got dropped from the side. He took a gamble by opening in domestics and it worked for him. I imagine it's the same with Jayasuriya (too young to remember his middle order days).
On the other hand we have enough opening and top order batsmen already.

Picking 5 out of them itself is going to be a headache.
Thirdly, it's not easy to find good finishers. We finally have couple of guys who can finish it well. Who do you want to use in their place when they move up the order. We better nor mess that up.
Chamika hasnt been doing that well as a finisher. Hasaranga has1 81 runs at a s/r of 108 at number 7 while he has a good s/r at number 8 with 133 but he has like 24 runs all together. We are really struggling in the death overs.
Are you kidding? Chamika has been very impressive. Hasaranga hasn't delivered much with the bat in recent past. Do we have better alternatives?
