Growing up I had lots of role models. Looking back, my parents were my first role models.

Growing up I had lots of role models. Looking back, my parents were my first role models.

Fans of different races, castes, ethnicities and religions who together celebrate their diversity by uniting for a common national cause. They are my foundation, they are my family. I will play my cricket for them. Their spirit is the true spirit of cricket. With me are all my people. I am Tamil, Sinhalese, Muslim and Burgher. I am a Buddhist, a Hindu, a follower of Islam and Christianity. I am today, and always, proudly Sri Lankan

I like to play test cricket. It is really challenging, because you need to really score runs, stay in the wicket and continue for five days.
