Sri Lanka’s iconic star Aravinda de Silva has been inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
The ICC announced three new additions to the ICC Hall of Fame on Monday, with legendary opener Virender Sehwag, India trailblazer Diana Edulji and Sri Lanka superstar Aravinda de Silva the latest inductees.
A winner of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup with Sri Lanka in 1996 and a classy batter that valued his own wicket, de Silva joins the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2023.
The consistent right-hander scored 20 Test centuries during an 18-year international career – the third most hundreds by any Sri Lanka men’s player – and was just as adept against the white-ball with another 11 centuries coming in 50-over cricket.
