It is a great honour to represent your country. Whether it is at home or abroad, I was fortunate to tour most of the best cricketing nations around the world. Sri Lanka has always been one of the toughest places to succeed on the Test match calendar. Scoring runs or taking wickets in hot and humid conditions, takes immense powers of concentration and skill. The Sri Lankan’s have always been extremely difficult to beat on their own patch. I have the fond memories of performing in Colombo, because in 1982 I was lucky enough to play in Sri Lanka’s inaugural Test match. England managed to gain a victory in Colombo and I remember the tremendous reception we received and the outstanding hospitality of the local people. It will be fantastic to return to this exciting island and I look forward to linking up with my old England colleague and friend Allan Lamb once again.

There have been instances where I was desperate not knowing how to move forward with the burden of not having adequate funding for most of the programs, saddened by many donors changing their priority and moving out of the country due to shrinking space in the country giving us little hope. However we did not falter on our vision and never gave up hope. Opportunities were presented to us through new propositions for funding and we received these opportunities with open arms and grateful hearts.

  • Projected Economic Growth in North & East Regions Will Be 13 Per Cent
    Published in Canada by The Times of Sri Lanka Vol.9 JUNE 2011 Projected economic growth in North & East regions will be 13 per cent over five years The economy of Sri Lanka’s once war-torn Northern and Eastern provinces are set to grow by around 13 percent per annum from 2011 onwards for the next five years, according to the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). CBSL Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal (inset) made these remarks in delivering the 60th Anniversary Oration of the CBSL a fortnight ago, on the topic of ‘Promoting financial inclusiveness – The experience of the past two years’. “There is a clear drive towards holistic development in the North and East to ensure that people sustain their economic achievements and translate them into a way of life. We expect that the range of investments made in these provinces will result in a growth rate of around 13 percent per annum in these provinces, from 2011 onwards for the next five years,” Cabraal said. According to the Governor, it has been encouraging to see that the Northern Province (NP) had recorded the highest nominal growth rate of 14% in 2009 ahead of all other Provinces although on a low base. The contribution to the country’s GDP by the NP increased to 3.3% in 2009 from 2.8% in 2006. The Eastern Province on the other hand recorded the second-highest nominal growth rate of all provinces, at 14% in 2009 while its contribution to the country’s GDP increased to 5.8% in 2009 from 4.9% in 2006.
