Women’s T20 WC: Athapaththu Shoulders Blame After SL’s Setback, Says ‘I'm A Failure As Captain’
T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu took full responsibility for her side's five-wicket defeat to the West Indies in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, admitting the loss had left her devastated as it pushed Sri Lanka to the brink of elimination from the tournament.
Facing the media after the match, an emotional Athapaththu said the disappointment extended beyond a single defeat, as she feared another opportunity to guide Sri Lanka into the knockout stages of a World Cup may have slipped away.
"Actually, it’s a sadness beyond words. I think I played around 18 years for the national team, and I could never get a chance to take my team into a semi-final of a World Cup. Even though I have achieved many things personally, I think I’m a failure as a captain because I think that’s a big pain for a player. Actually, now I have to be with that pain," Athapaththu said in the post-match press conference.
