President offers Sri Lankan High Commissioner post in UK to Sangakkara

Aug 24, 2015 (LBO) – Sri Lanka’s cricketing legend Kumar Sangakkara on Monday was offered the High Commissioner post in the UK by President Maithripala Sirisena with him stepping down from international test cricket.



“We don’t know what he thinks but we request him to accept Sri Lankan High Commissioner Post in the UK,” President Sirisena said after presenting a memento to Sanga.

A special presentation concluded a short while ago at the P Sara Oval to honor the retiring legend after India won the second Test against Sri Lanka by 278 runs leveling the series 1 - 1.

Speaking at the farewell, Sangakkara said his biggest achievement is not the hundreds but the unconditional love he has received from people around him. “Thank you for all the love. It has been my privilege to play for my country and in front of all the fans,” Sangakkara said.
