Vijayakanth Viyaskanth the first international from Jaffna, born exactly 5 years after the government troops took control of the district ravaged by years of civil war. The cultural capital of the Tamil ethnicity. #PakvSL

Root’s a classical modern day batter’s dismissal - ditching the basics of batting at any level - the feet movement #Ashes2025

OTD incredibly 50 years ago, India beat SL in the first unofficial Test at Hyderabad just one over of the then mandatory overs on the last day remaining. David Heyn with near twin hundreds the SL hero @OfficialSLC @BCCI

England and NZ both genders battling it out. July 1973 the first time men met in an ODI, a month earlier the NZ women were to play the first ever women’s ODI v Jamaica which was washed out. #CWC25 #NZvENG

Pratika Rawal haters I saw her quality at the tri nation series here in Colombo Apr-May; only once she failed. All class. Her three successive fours on the off side off Pak’s Diana Baig in this CWC was Vengsarkarsque (Dilip Vengsarakar a middle order great 80-90s) #CWC25
