Former legendary Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara is set to be a part of the Sky Sports coverage of England’s home summer this year – a season which includes full tours from Pakistan and India, as well as a limited over series between England and Australia.
ශ්රී ලංකා ක්රිකට් ගොඩනගන්න සංගා පෙරට
ක්රීඩා අමාත්යාංශය මඟින් ඉදිරි වසර දෙක තුළ ශ්රී ලංකා ක්රිකට් ගොඩනැංවීමට සකස් කර ඇති සැලසුමට අනුව, පස් දෙනෙකුගෙන් සමන්විත කමිටුවක් පිහිටුවා…
The former Australian great Shane Warne is the man that Sangakkara is set to replace in the Sky Sports commentary box, while Sangakkara previous had a commentary stint in England during the 2017 Champions Trophy, but could not be fully committed due to his responsibilities with Surrey, his county and the Caribbean Premier League.
He has hung up his boots in the longest format since and is just involved in T20 Leagues being played around the globe.
