In the midst of the coronavirus epidemic, Sri Lankan team coach Mickey Arthur has claimed that cricket will start even more strongly after the epidemic. Mickey Arthur while speaking to the official website of Sri Lanka Cricket Board said, "It is indeed a very unfortunate situation around the world now with complete lockdown and all sports and most business coming to a standstill."

Sri Lankan team head coach Mickey Arthur continued, "My thoughts and condolences to all the people and families affected by this epidemic. Cricket is in the stage of most stagnation, but it will come out strongly after dealing with the epidemic. " 

Coach Arthur has further said that every player needs to focus on fitness at this time. Arthur has stated, "All players have different fitness plans to keep pace with their level of fitness. Each player needs to maintain their fitness level at home. We are using this time to reflect on the first 3 months of our tenure and recalibrate our individual and team plans going forward to the very important series that we have coming up later in the year. We have been very happy with the improvement and willingness from the players to buy into the structure, work ethic, levels of preparation and goals that we have set the team in all formats"
