Sangakkara: Cricket SAVED Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

cricket really united the country and you think really a sport like cricket what are you talking about you're too full of yourself but I grew up in a country where whatever ethnicity you belong to when you played cricket it's almost as if there was no war there was no trouble everyone — would watch this and would celebrate together because they felt that oh this is how our country should live as well you know we had different people in our team with different religions different ethnicities all playing together even though as Sri Lankans we haven't learned everything from those lessons and we are still a very timultuous, volatile, divided country. We have a large part of our population who have learned and are trying to do things differently and and be better to each other. And when we played cricket, we always had that civic sense of civic duty ingrained in us that when you played cricket for Sri Lanka, you were doing something a little bit more different than just playing cricket. So do what you can off the field as much as possible. You don't have to be in the public eye, but do things that help others.
