Sangakkara offered UK High Commissioner post

    79

    President Maithripala Sirisena today offered the post of Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner to Britain to former Sri Lanka cricketer Kumar Sangakkara.

    The offer was made after Sangakkara retired from international cricket today at the end of the second Test between Sri Lanka and India.

    Sangakkara said he was taken by surprise at the offer and will need time to think about it.
