Sad day for cricket and it’s fans – Sri Lankan players attacked
It is easiest to voice an opinion on something close to you. Cricket has been a sport I have played, watched and loved.
And the latest about the attacks on the Sri Lankan cricketers, is something that has been on my mind since today morning.
It’s an act which is bound to have dire implications. The loss of any kind of international cricket in Pakistan, and the surrounding areas, loss of trust on the board and its policies and possibly the end of careers for some Pakistani cricketers.
Credit to the officials for acting immediately and moving the players to safety. I quite liked what Sangakkara had to say about the episode – “ We are shocked but apart from that everyone is OK. ”I don’t regret coming here to play cricket because that’s what we have been doing all our lives. That is our profession. But I regret this incident, what has happened and the situation that we have had to go through.”
Reassuring.
Where we go from here, only Time will tell.
