DICC’s obituaries
Indrani Ariyaratne, Sri Lanka Cricket: -
“We do really appreciate the service done by Mr. Jayalath Aponsu to develop the deaf cricket in Sri Lanka. For 25 years from 1995 to date, you have been helping us without expecting any profit from the organization as the head coach, guiding and advising all cricket players in the association. As a result, our team won the 2018 T20 Deaf cricket World Cup. Your loss is a great loss to our association, but your service will last forever. We wish you immortal Nirvana on behalf of all the members of our association.
