The build-up to the 2011 World Cup has been long, but the much-anticipated moment has finally arrived with our first game today against Canada. Just like everyone else in Sri Lanka, we are really excited about the next few weeks and proud to be co-hosting an event of this magnitude.
The Lankan World Cup opener 2011 came under a dark cloud last afternoon as a result of a drizzle that fell over the Sooriyawewa International Cricket Stadium. The covers that came over were kept on till late evening, as it was reported that there were rather heavy showers in the Embilipitiya area.
