36th Anniversary of Sri Lanka’s first Test on British soil

The 36th Anniversary of Sri Lanka’s first Test on British soil falls on the 24th of August 2020. In commemoration The Island will feature over 3 successive days an eyewitness account of the match, coming from none other than our own specialist  cricket columnist Rohan Wijeyaratna. It is a treat not to be missed!

Rohan enjoys a long association with The Island and is widely known and respected for his knowledge and balanced views on the game. For those who missed the event, reading Rohan’s description would be the best substitute for watching it live. For those who saw that game but the memory is blurred, reading him would be the best antidote.

 Make sure of your copy of The Island on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of August, to enjoy Rohan’s latest literary masterpiece.
