The Sri Lankan economic crisis is an ongoing emergency in the island nation of Sri Lanka that started in 2019. It is the country’s worst economic situation since its independence in 1948.
This question has been asked to the Sri Lankan cricket team since the tour of Bangladesh. How significant is this series in such a situation in the country?
However, the cricket team of Sri Lanka didn’t quite really suffer on the field against Bangladesh. But they sure do feel what their own people are going through. They also stood with them, by showing solidarity from the core of their heart.
After the Chittagong Test draw, Sri Lanka won the series with a lavish victory in Mirpur. At the end of the match, captain Dimuth Koranaratne wrote on Instagram, “I am dedicating this victory to the people of Sri Lanka. We are going through a difficult time, I hope this victory will bring a little smile on your face.”
Let the Sri Lankan islands shine again with dignity, even in the heat of the scorching sun – both their economy, people, and the sports arena.
