KKR’s indecision on Pathirana reeks of squad construction gone wrong. Signing a Sri Lankan speedster without clarity on XI slots exposes poor planning ahead of IPL 2026. The real issue: does Southee’s vagueness mask injury concerns, or is this theatrics to keep SRH guessing? Either way, delaying a debut decision this close to match day suggests KKR lacks confidence in their bowling balance. That’s management failure, not strategic flexibility.
