Sydney: The challenge for Sri Lanka in the World Cup will be how they cope with conditions in Australia and New Zealand, former Indian captain Rahul Dravid said Thursday.
The right-handed bat, who has scored 10,889 runs in One-Day Internationals, also voiced concern about pacer Lasith Malinga's fitness as he believes his inclusion is critical for the Lankan bowling at the death.
"He's so critical to their side because one of the areas where Sri Lanka would struggle would be in bowling at the death. If you remove Malinga from that line-up and you look around, you don't really see anyone else (who can bowl at the death)," added Dravid.
