India deliberately aggravated Sri Lanka's ethnic crisis. It destabilized Sri Lanka [by training and arming Tamil militants, including the Tigers] so that it could play a dominant role in bringing Sri Lanka within its sphere of influence.
An economically peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka is the dream of youth of the nation. My message for the youth is to collectively work for an inclusively developed Sri Lanka.
A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth

I'd love to venture out into some international work. I would like to do some work in Sri Lanka as well.

No player can represent Sri Lanka in future without good fitness levels
Please pray with me for everyone in Sri Lanka and the Philippines as I begin my trip.
I've definitely grown into the job after that difficult first Test against Pakistan. I'd been captain for the Sri Lanka one-dayers, which hadn't gone well, and all the talk was that I only had that one Test as captain.
