Former Sri Lankan batter and coach Marvan Atapattu will do the TV commentary in the upcoming Asia Cup matches, it is learned. The 52-year-old ex-opener has been assigned to do the TV commentary of the Sri Lankan matches. Confirming the news over the telephone, Atapattu, who is holidaying overseas, said, “yes, I am being contracted to air my views and I am very happy with it”. This has not been his first role as a commentator. “I have done the international match”, he said.
Later, Russel Arnold, another Sri Lankan commentator, said, “Atapattu did commentary in one of the Sri Lanka Test matches against Australia in Australia”. Arnold, however, has not been approached for the Asia Cup commentary. Roshan Abeysinghe is in the panel for a lesser number of games.
