The kid who came to colombo to study law 🚶🚶

Hi friends 👋😃

Today i'm going to tell you about a beautiful story i've heard..😎

In late 1990's there was a kid from kandy who came to colombo to pursue his studies in law..🚶😊 In 1980's the universities had been closed due to the JVP insurrection and as a result there was a backlog in enrolling student to complete their degrees. 😐😞. So, the kid from kandy had to wait for two years for his chance to enter university in a bid to become a lawyer going in the footsteps of his father 🙇😶

So, with lot spare time at his disposal he decided to play some cricket and was employed by informatics around the same time the natnational cricket team fared so poorly in the ICC cricket world cup in 1990 in england despite being defending champions. 🤥😦

Captain , seniors , cricket board and the seselectors were all sacked. 🗣️ president Chandrika Kumarathunga wanted change. The new selection panel headed by Sidath Wettimuny was looking for youth. 🧐 Kuruppu was part of the selection committee and told his colleagues about this immensely talented kid from kandy at informatics. 😃😎❤️‍🔥
