Description
Book SynopsisThis first book to tell the full story of cricket in Sri Lanka is sure to be a contender for sports book awards
Trade ReviewNicholas Brookes has filled a gap in cricket literature. This wonderful book, based on compendious research, tells the great story of Sri Lankan cricket, how it began in schools and colleges and emerged to become one of the great forces in world cricket. It is more than a cricket book: it is also indispensable for understanding Sri Lanka itself. This book should be in the library of every serious cricket lover. It has been written with real passion and understanding. A great debut from a serious sports historian.

This is a great tale, and what’s more, it’s beautifully told.
