Floodlights Improved For Tri-Series In Dambulla

Rangiri Dambulla Stadium was under great criticism during Aisa Cup. The reason for criticism was flood lights of the stadium. Now during the current tri-series the flood lights have been improved. Now there will be enough light in the stadium that is required for cricket.

Ashley de Silva, Sri Lanka Cricket’s head of cricket operations stated that the illumination levels of lights have been increased after their replacement. The previous capacity of bulbs in the stadium was 1000-1100. These bulbs are erected on eight towers with each tower containing 21 bulbs. After the replacement the range of these bulbs has now reached to 1300 and 1400 watts.

The previous level of lights was not appreciated by players as they thought that the light was not enough for playing. Scott Styris said earlier in the week that conditions should be little brighter to have good sight of the ball.

The slandered of lights were first questioned during Asia Cup when it was complained by many cricketers that it is difficult to play in low light. Gautam Gambhir complained that spinner cant be picked in such low light. Lasith Malinga declared it not up to international standards. Now after the replacement of lights it is thinking that problems of cricketers will reduce after it.
