Skipper Mahela Jayawardene has been pronounced the captain of the year. I can’t say how heartfelt I am to hear this. First of all for Mahela himself. This is a wonderful achievement. Second, for the country. It’s good to know that we’re coming back strong, and a good strong captain is what we need to survive and break though. One of the key things in a captain is humility and trust in the team he is leading. This shows in Mahela.
“The team has done well, a captain is as good as his team,” Jayawardene told a news conference.
Well said. It’s also heartening to read something positive on the Sri Lankan front on international media. A refreshing change from the daily reports of killing, bombing and threats coming from our fair island in the sun.
