The
Twenty20 Canada Cup is over but the Sri Lankans who
are living in Toronto are still talking about how the
Lankan cricketers led by Mahela Jayawardene clinched
the inaugural tournament at King City grounds beating
Pakistan in the final.
Jayaweera Rankothge, a Sri Lankan living in Whitby City
in Toronto is a very keen cricket lover. He told ‘The
Bottom Line’: “I am very happy the way the
Sri Lankans played here. They have showed what team
spirit is to other countries. They also played excellent
cricket. My favourite cricketer of the world is none
other than Sanath Jayasuriya who is very popular as
master blaster. Jayasuriya still plays like a youngster
and he is a good example for other players who are keen
to play in the national team.”
Jayaweera
further added: “I was very lucky to meet Jayasuriya
and chat with him. He makes us feel very proud and he
is always smiling with others. I am sure all Sri Lankans
who are in Canada like him very much.
