The former Sri Lankan captain also explained how the wicketkeepers used to sled by covering the mike with their shoes, but now it is difficult to escape due to the increased sound of technology and stump Mike. “We used to cover the stump Mike like a boot. The stump was just behind the mike stump and we used to cover it with our legs. Then he used to say his point and then remove it. But now I think they have raised their voice. “
