Sangakkara and Muralitharan have brought honour and fame to Kandy

Kandy has produced many Sri Lanka players in almost every sport whether it is cricket, football, hockey, rugger, netball, basketball, boxing, table tennis, badminton, weightlifting or athletics. Two of its famous sons – Muttiah Muralitharan and Kumar Sangakkara – adorned the gentleman’s game of cricket.

The cricket-loving public of Kandy, management of Kandy District Cricket Association and Central Province Cricket Association wishes to pay gratitude to these two great gentleman cricketers for putting Kandy on the world map with their great performances.
