CLOSE-IN: Indian Cricket At The 'Pearl Of The Indian Ocean' (IANS Column)
ICC T20 World Cups:
Sri Lanka previously Ceylon, was known as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean" due to its pristine water and beaches. The "emerald island" was another name given to it because of the shape of the country and the lush green tea gardens and forests that it encompassed.
Similar to India, cricket has been a sport revered there because of the British. It was only in 1981 that they finally got recognised as a Test playing nation by the ICC.
