The Sri Lanka Cricket Museum is one of a kind Museum which beautifully takes you through a journey in history of the sport in Srilanka which showcases important milestones embodied In the walls of the museum and also memorable trophies that have been won by Srilanka Cricket in terms of both the Mens and Womens sports. It was a beautiful sight to see some wonderful trophies won over the years, I saw trophies that were won in the 1950s Gopalan trophy till the Asia Cup victory last year.And also it reminded me of some of the memories I had over the years of Sri lanka teams that lifted some beautiful silverware which you watch on TV and crave to also lift it with the team since they are beautifully crafted. My Favourite of them of all is the 1996 Wills Cricket World Cup that’s a magnificent piece of silverware beautifully crafted I was amazed by the work put In,
To me out of all trophies won, particularly the trophies that have been crafted in Sri Lanka , in Bangladesh and also Africa like the trophies in Southafrica and Kenya are marvelously crafted you need to give a separate award for craftsman ship. My least favourite were the Australian trophies they wre bland the once we won for t20 and tri series matches and also the Icc T20 trophy was not that special I think ICC really needs to look at the design. Overall it was a memorable walk down memory lane.
