“Sri Lanka coming back strongly to defeat Bangladesh in the decisive third ODI having come under pressure following the lost second game is a success story of discipline, bravery and the unflinching resolve.
While congratulating the team on this great achievement, there cannot be a happier and prouder cricket personality than the man who has been right behind the team. None other than that far sighted President of Sri Lanka Cricket, Shammi Silva whom I unreservedly raise my hat to while congratulating the country’s cricketing trendsetter who so skillfully administers the game.
Indeed, it has been the dynamic SLC President who has laid the far reaching ground work to bringing back Sri Lanka to be counted on the world stage.”
This is the glowing tribute paid by Lakith Peiris, owner of GO FOR GOLD Website to the cricket chief and his executive committee and of course the expert coaching staff headed by Head Coach and former Sri Lanka captain and batting icon Sanath Jayasuriya on this latest achievement.
“I do sincerely wish the team to go up to be among the top three in the ICC Team ODI Rankings under the able administration of Shammi Silva who is the behind the scene towering figure to getting the optimum results from the cricketers,” voiced Lakith, no mean cricket man in giving his impetus to promoting the game at domestic level whose cricketing passion is unflinching for Sri Lanka
