An Island’s Eleven
by Nicholas Brookes
The Story of Sri Lankan Cricket
We all know the story of the 1996 World Cup: how a team of unfancied amateurs rose from obscurity and changed the way the game was played. Yet the lore of Sri Lankan cricket stretches back much further. An Island’s Eleven tells this story in full for the first time, focusing on the characters and moments that have shaped the game forever.
