Asia Cup
President’s congrats to Sri Lankan Cricketers

 
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has congratulated the Sri Lanka Cricket Team on their winning the Asia Cup beating India in Karachi last night.

The message sent to Captain Mahela Jayawardene states:
”I congratulate you and the Sri Lanka Team on this victory that has bought honour to the country through excellent team spirit, sportsmanship and fighting qualities. By winning the Asia Cup for the fourth time you have proved that Sri Lanka remains a formidable force in cricket. Your success is an encouragement to all our sportsmen and sportswomen, and I wish you all success in the forthcoming series against India in Sri Lanka, and other important tournaments that lie ahead.

I also send my special good wished to young Ajantha Mendis for his magnificent bowling performance and to Sanath Jayasuriya for his continued achievements in batting, both of which helped steer Sri Lanka to this outstanding victory.
