Thank you for what you did Dilshan. It was not your fault to be appointed Captain when no one wanted the job. You will be remembered for our first win in South Africa under your watch. Best of luck in Australia.
Thank you Dilshan,
You did your best when others fled.With your less experience you couldn’t command the full muscle and potential of the team you were offered. Caption to this news item is bit misleading-” Won’t captain the team”.Sounds bit frustrated. Stand by the Game you love the most.People called you names. Forget it.There is lot of Cricket in you- Offer it for your Country without any malice.
A great sigh of relief. The drug pedalling child rapist is gone. God bless SL cricket.
PS, please do not peddle such lurid gossip against Dilshan in this website.
