Sri Lanka cricket legend Kumar Sangakkara joined members of the Cricket Transformation Committee in a meeting with Sri Lanka Cricket-contracted women cricketers, where players received guidance on building successful careers both on and off the field.
The meeting brought together players from the national team, Sri Lanka ‘A’, and Under-19 squads and was chaired by Cricket Transformation Committee Chairman Eran Wickramaratne.
Speaking to the players, Sangakkara, along with former national captains Roshan Mahanama and Sidath Wettimuny, stressed the importance of teamwork, discipline, and understanding individual roles within a team to achieve success.
Wickramaratne praised the growth of women’s cricket in Sri Lanka, describing the team’s Asia Cup triumph as “rewriting the history of women’s cricket in Sri Lanka.”
He said the committee would work towards ensuring women’s cricket receives the same level of attention, opportunities, and support as men’s cricket.
The meeting was also attended by Sri Lanka Cricket Honorary Secretary Prakash Schaffter, CEO Ashley De Silva, Women’s National Team Head Coach Jamie Siddons, and other members of the Cricket Transformation Committee.
Wickramaratne conveyed his best wishes to the Sri Lanka Women’s Team ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. (Newswire)
