The Daily Mirror Newspaper of Sri Lanka (www.dailymirror.lk/) reports that Sri Lanka is to help Maldives in the development of cricket. According to Daily Mirror, the Sports ministers from the Maldives and Sri Lanka agreed to a sports promotion exchange programme between the two countries. The meeting between the Maldivian Sports Minister Hassan Latheef and Sri Lankan Sports Minister Gamini Lokuge took place at the Sports Ministry recently.
The main topic of discussion was the cooperation from Sri Lanka in the development of cricket in the Maldives.
Sri Lanka is a world power in the sport of cricket and they have, in the past, won the cricket Asia Cup and the World Cup too. Most of their national team players are world icons in cricket. Sri Lanka could indeed help put Maldives in the map of the cricketing world.
President Nasheed’s father is an ardent cricket fan and a former national team wicket keeper. I call upon Nasheed’s father and other cricket fans to lobby to the President to come up with a solid plan to at least qualify Maldives for the Asia Cup within the next five years.
why not...why not, 12 MoU signed in one day!!!! with Indian merchants...
ReplyDeleteNow this is an achievement, EU, UK, USA must learn from the current regime of Maldives. In a time when the top economist predicts that the world economy is coming to a halt, Our beloved President has managed to convince the Indian merchants that to come and invest millions of dollars in Maldives, a country with 300,000 population, he has convinced them that it will be more beneficial for them to invest in our country than any other place in the world. The Indian mercants knew they have hit the jackpot. Wow! THANK YOU SO MUCH MR PRESIDENT

ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. The only realistic chance we have of competing in the sports of world arena is in cricket because that's the only sport where the south asia region excels. We can use Sri Lanka and India and Bangladesh's help in this.
