Sri Lanka faces debt, corruption, and the need for daily essentials. It is harder and harder to stay optimistic, especially when Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe resigned and fled.
However, Sri Lankans have one thing to look forward to—cricket. Cricket is a baseball-like sport, and each team has 11 players. The Sri Lankan team were underdogs in 2021, but they have rebounded, securing multiple wins.
Sri Lanka will play against Pakistan—Pakistan is currently in the lead, 1-0. However, the match has been moved to Galle, a city in Sri Lanka, because Colombo is unsafe at the moment.
Every time the cricket team wins, Sri Lankans watching at home feel motivated that the struggle against corrupt politicians can also be won.
Will Sri Lanka host the Asia cup, a tournament to promote goodwill between Asian countries? Estelle Vasudevan is a reporter for news on ThePapare.com, and she says the chances of them not hosting is 90%.
Sri Lanka has a very good cricket team. If they keep on winning, Sri Lankans’ morale will stay high.
