Dhananjaya de Silva also mentioned that batting in spin friendly pitches at home has also affected the batting average of the Sri Lankan batters.
Sri Lanka currently have 16-run lead with five wickets in hand in the second innings versus Australia in the second Test match at the Galle International Stadium.
Dhananjaya de Silva will lead his for the first time against Afghanistan in the one-off Test, starting February 6.
Curtis Campher scored his maiden Test century from 209 deliveries and ended up scoring 111 runs off 229 deliveries.
Meanwhile, SLC also provided an update on availability of Wanindu Hasaranga for rest of the series.
Just like the moment in 1st Test, the rivalry between the duo proved to be quite a key factor in the match.
This is the second instance in Test matches that Dhananjaya has been out hit wicket.
De Silva, with 50 ODIs under his belt, happens to be the most experienced player of the squad.
Not only did the home side lose two wickets, but they also lost both their reviews in consecutive deliveries.
