Mendis needs to stand the test of time: Buchanan

Former Australian and Kolkata Knight Riders coach John Buchanan says Ajantha Mendis should be judged on a long-term basis only and success in one series doesn’t really mean anything.

“Mendis reminds me a bit of Johnny Gleeson, though he releases the ball much quicker, is taller and stronger. He also has good change of pace,” he said.
