“When someone comes up to you and tells you that we want you to do this for us, it means they have placed their faith in you and I took up the challenge,” said Ratnayake who played senior First Eleven cricket for St. Peter’s College at the age of 13, made his mark as an international player for Sri Lanka when standards were extremely demanding in the 1980s and then held on to a historic catch off his own
bowling to signal the country’s first Test win in 1985 at the Oval in Colombo that happened to be against India.
NOTE : Even though the Sri Lanka team did not make the semi-finals losing out to New Zealand, pundits agree they are a team to watch out for in the future.
