A captain’s knock when it mattered most! 💯👏

Dhananjaya de Silva anchored the innings with a brilliant 120, guiding the team to a competitive and well-balanced total.

Possibly the most technical goal in football history

We should not play one off test with anyone! If any country doesn’t want to play more than one so be it! There’s nothing called bigger nations and test status is equal to all test playing nations .You can’t have 1 team playing 20 games and another playing 10 games in the same championship cycle! Generating revenue and keeping test cricket alive is two different things and you should not mix up the two !

Eshan Malinga comes from Ratnapura, where people dig for gems deep in the earth & somehow that feels appropriate. He grew up in a province where cricket infrastructure is something you read about in magazines, not something you actually touch & still he made the ball move at 141 kph before he was old enough to vote.

The Ranmini Battle of 2019 was his first explosion. 11 wickets in the match & a nickname that stuck: the Opanayake Express.
But velocity has a price. That same year, pushing through a national speed trial, he wrecked his back. Kind of injury that usually ends stories early. He disappeared into rehabilitation, swimming pools, invisible hours that nobody applauds.

He emerged in 2022 with debuts across all three formats for Ragama & by early 2025 was in New Zealand wearing Sri Lanka colours. Sunrisers Hyderabad paid 4 times his base price at the IPL auction.

2025 season brought 13 wickets in 7 games. Then in 2026, something shifted. With Mohammed Shami gone & Pat Cummins injured, Malinga became the unexpected leader of a young bowling unit. He has taken 12 wickets so far, but more crucially, he has taken them when it matters.
Against Delhi, he claimed 4 for 32. Against Chennai, 3 for 29 in a tight chase. Against Rajasthan, 2 for 31 & against KKR, 2 for 14.

SRH sit third on the points table right now despite losing every single toss, despite bowling second in every match, despite having no senior bowler to lean on. Malinga is the reason that young attack has held together.

The shoulder injury in early 2026 ruled him out of the T20 World Cup, cruel timing for an express bowler whose body keeps asking questions. But he has already shown he knows how to rebuild.
From Ratnapura to leading an IPL attack is not a journey you complete by accident. It requires the same patience his neighbors use when digging for sapphires, knowing the value is there if you simply refuse to stop looking.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

In 2021, Sri Lanka banned chemical fertiliser imports. Rice yields collapsed by a third or more in a single season. Tea production dropped to its lowest since 1995, costing $425 million in export revenue. Food inflation hit 94.9 percent. The country defaulted on $51 billion in external debt on April 12 2022, the first sovereign default in its history. Six point seven million people, 28 percent of the population, became food insecure. The president fled the country on July 9 as protesters occupied his residence. That crisis was caused by a policy decision. One man banned one input. This crisis is caused by a strait.

The Haber-Bosch process converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, the feedstock for urea, the fertiliser that grows the rice that feeds South and Southeast Asia. The process requires natural gas. The gas that feeds the Haber-Bosch plants in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE transited the Strait of Hormuz. The strait has been effectively closed for five weeks. Urea spot prices hit $687 per tonne on April 2, up from approximately $500 before the war. Southeast Asian granular urea reached $750. Bangladesh shut four of its five state urea factories on March 5 due to gas rationing. The gas that grows the food is trapped behind the same chokepoint as the gas that powers the economy.

The kharif planting season runs April through June. Seeds not planted in April do not produce rice in October. Fertiliser not applied at sowing does not improve yields at harvest. The FAO projects fertiliser prices averaging 15 to 20 percent higher in the first half of 2026. Commodity analysts project 15 to 20 percent kharif yield losses if the shortage extends through May, and 12 to 18 percent global food price rises by year-end. India says its stockpile is “comfortable.” That claim will be tested by June. The food crisis is not a forecast. It is a planting calendar colliding with a naval blockade.

Bangladesh imports 95 percent of its petroleum and shut four of five state urea plants within a week of the blockade. Pakistan’s textile mills are dark. Sri Lanka reactivated the same QR fuel rationing system it deployed during the 2022 collapse, the crisis that this one now threatens to repeat through a different mechanism. In 2022, the cause was a president who banned imports. In 2026, the cause is a strait that blocks them. The chemistry is identical. The nitrogen is absent. The rice will not grow. The only difference is that in 2022, the ban could be reversed. In 2026, the strait cannot be opened by executive order. It requires either a military operation or a negotiation with the organisation that privatised it.

Russia is filling the gap with crude oil, not fertiliser. India’s Russian crude imports surged 90 percent in March. China sits on reserves and resells LNG at a profit. Neither is shipping urea to Bangladesh. The world is redirecting hydrocarbons but not nitrogen. The molecule that powers the car and the molecule that grows the crop derive from the same feedstock, trapped behind the same waterway. The world is solving for the first and ignoring the second.

Sri Lanka’s 2022 default took eleven months from fertiliser ban to sovereign collapse. The Hormuz closure is five weeks old. The kharif window closes in June. The trajectory is the same. The velocity is faster. And the number of countries on the path is not one. It is twelve.

"We can see the Moon out of the docking hatch right now. It's a beautiful sight."

Flight day 3 is in the books, and our @NASAArtemis II crew is now closer to the Moon than to Earth. Check out highlights from our lunar mission. What’s been your favorite moment so far?

Trying to understand the thinking behind attending this, especially when you’re leaders of parties the public is constantly watching and analysing. You speak of change, yet can’t change yourselves. Even if the NPP fails, the alternative cannot be this kind of hypocrisy.
If you can’t read the room on something this basic, how can anyone trust your judgment on anything that actually matters? Sensible move by not attending @NavinDissa. Better to stand alone with dignity than follow the herd. People will remember.

I’m encouraged by Russia’s assurance to stand by Sri Lanka as a true friend during global challenges. Strengthening cooperation in energy, technology and beyond will be vital as we navigate uncertain times together.
