A question of safety for Lankans at T 20 WC

Intermingle of politics and sports have gone off the track more often than not. As far as my memory goes the first such instance that I can recollect is the Basil D’Oliveira affair where the matters pertaining to South African born English cricketer’s selection to the then racially segregated South Africa culminated in the latter becoming the ‘pariah’ of the Sporting World. South Africa was plagued by sporting isolation from April 1971 to June 1991 as a result of the Gleneagles agreement mooted by the Commonwealth Forum.

Royal prevail

Royal prevailed at Bogambara yesterday in the first leg of the 65th Bradby Shield rugby encounter when they downed Trinity 22-12.
