Kandy (Sri Lanka), Aug.10 (ANI): Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke has said that the country's cricketing fraternity and fans need to let go of the heroes of the past and concentrate on the cricketing talent it holds now.
Speaking after the Twenty20 series loss to Sri Lanka and ahead of the one-day series between the two sides, Clarke said his team should forget about the great players that came before them and start forging their own stories.
"The guys that have retired, retired a long time ago now. We have had some great players play for Australia over the last 10 years but there comes a time in everyone's career when you need someone to retire and it becomes someone else's chance to get a go. I think we've got a great squad here," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Clarke, as saying.
He added: "We've got plenty of talent and we're excited about what lies ahead. Not just in the one-day tour but the Test tour as well. If we play our best cricket, there's no reason we can't win those series."
The one-day series starts on Wednesday in Kandy, before moving to the southern port city of Hambantota for games two and three.
The final two one-dayers will be held in Colombo. (ANI)
