So pleased to catch up with former Sri Lanka captain, Anura Tennekoon.
I was truly touched when he offered me encouragement and invaluable advice on commentary. Meeting legends is special, but being guided and encouraged by them is even more meaningful. #cricket

Wonder whom Sri Lanka will be supporting today in the Women's #T20worldcup? #England or #westindies. I just feel #SriLanka have a better chance if England loose today. As England's next game is against NZ. Where as WI have a better chance against #Ireland in thier next game.

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

What a stunning catch. The best I have seen by far in this #t20 world cup.

Sri Lanka’s Taavi Samaraweera, world No.1 in the under‑11 table tennis rankings, returned home today after a landmark European tour where he clinched gold, silver, and bronze medals across two major tournaments. The 11‑year‑old became the first Sri Lankan to reach finals in both under‑11 and under‑13 categories in Kosovo, winning gold and silver, before securing bronze in Norway and placing among the top eight in the under‑15 division.

The annual Bandula Warnapura Memorial Trophy match between the Olcott XI and the MCA. It was a privilege to meet and spend time with Sri Lanka's "Captain Cool," Arjuna Ranatunga. His commitment, energy, passion for the game, and cricketing knowledge remain as impressive as ever.

Why is the @rajasthanroyals score 11? Why wasn't the run given for the no ball? The target should be 13 for @DelhiCapitals. Maybe I'm wrong 🤔 @IPL #RRvsDC @IamSanjuSamson @klrahul

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

Had such a promising career. What a mess Praveen has got himself into. #cricket #anticorruption @ICC

Didn't the production team have a better angle for the 3rd umpire? From what we saw, Paul Rifel got only 2 angles which were not enough and conclusive. #INDvsSL

Kusal Mendis given out by the umpire: Pictures show Shubman Gill touching the rope ?

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

It's been 27 years. It's a huge series victory for @OfficialSLC considering the current status our cricket is in. This will be a big boost going forward. Super job by Asalanka, the team, @Sanath07 and support staff. #INDvsSL

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

With small boundary lines on good surfaces, young Indian batters look amazing. But on slow turning wickets with bigger boundary lines, they look ordinary. #INDvsSL

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

How could this happen? Arnt match officials updated by the @ICC about rules and regulation changes? This is a much bigger error than a wrong call on field by a umpire. #INDvSL

This is so wrong. What if a major injury happens? Who will take the blame? The female boxers must sue the Olympics committee. #Boxing #OlympicGamesParis2024 #WomensRights https://t.co/cokzIKVGpM

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

It's a all time low for men's cricket in #SriLanka. Depressing and disgusting to watch. #INDvSL

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

For those who have suddenly popped up & discuss, argue & advocate for higher payments for women cricketers. @OfficialSLC has already increased match fees and monthly contracted payments to the players. Fabulous speech @58Chamari. https://t.co/SKeYub3kQn

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

Years of hard work & decipline behind the scenes has finaly paid off. Congratulations to @58Chamari & the team. You have changed the scope and landscape of women's cricket in Sri Lanka. @OfficialSLC

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

It's high time SL has 1 captain for white ball #Cricket. A captain needs respect from nt only team members, but all cricketers & even the public. It can be a fresh face, or a senior player, SL definitely needs to make the change for the sake of our countries pride & the game.

@AadhilSiddhique He 1st needs to work on his fitness. He doesnt look fit at all, which has effected his game.

[Ricky Simms @ricky_simms]

The best decision Hasaranga has taken so far in his career. Its the best decision for #SriLankan #Cricket. "Sri Lanka Cricket National Men's T20I Captain Wanindu Hasaranga has decided to resign from the captaincy of @OfficialSLC". @adaderana
