Sri Lanka’s Graham Ford has chosen underdog status ahead of his team’s tour of South Africa.
Sri Lanka, who arrive on Sunday for three Tests (starting on the 26th in Port Elizabeth), three T20 internationals and five one-day internationals (ODIs), have had a good run of late.
In their last two Test series, they beat Australia 3-0 (at home) and Zimbabwe 2-0 (in Zimbabwe) before winning an ODI Tri-Series, including against the West Indies, in that country.
