Book Review:
The Glorious Cricketers of Sri Lanka by T. D. S. A. Dissanayaka – former Ambassador, Harvard‑educated, and former national athlete – provides an in‑depth account of Sri Lanka's historic triumph at the 1996 Cricket World Cup. Led by Arjuna Ranatunga and powered by Sanath Jayasuriya's aggressive batting, Sri Lanka defeated Australia in the final. The author, who has written several best‑selling books on Sri Lankan political leaders, brings his narrative skill to cricket. Essential reading for cricket fans and those interested in Sri Lankan sports history.
