Former Sri Lankan cricket great Aravinda de Silva has appealed to fans to stand firmly behind the national team during the ongoing World Cup.
Speaking at a D.S. Senanayake College “Back to School” event, the veteran stated that he sees no lack of ability among the current Sri Lankan players. According to him, this is a crucial moment where the entire nation must rally behind the team and give them unwavering support.
Aravinda emphasized that the players possess the required talent, and what they need most right now is encouragement rather than criticism.
Earlier, former captain Mahela Jayawardene, in a discussion with CricWire, shared a similar sentiment, urging fans to set everything aside and support the game and the players during this important period.
Both legends highlighted that unity between fans and players can play a major role in lifting the team’s spirit on the world stage.
