Cricket was begun by the English remains a sport since the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0century, where the language in use is of course\u00a0was English. Countries\u00a0like England, Australia, South\u00a0Africa,West\u00a0Indies,Zimbabwe( formerly Rhodesia) had no problem with the English\u00a0language where everything connected to the game was in English .Lately with the advent of Asian countries viz India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh the players ,administrators had to be\u00a0versed\u00a0in English jargon which most did up to the end of the 1990\u00a0decade. All\u00a0our past cricketers were able to converse well in the English which was the accepted language at international matches particularly for speaking at previews by the skippers, post- match presentations at press conferences when one is adjudicated as \u201cthe player of the match\u201d had to answer to questions posed by the presenter at the podium. From the beginning of the 2000\u00a0decade\u00a0it has been noticed that some players from the Asian countries Pakistan and Sri Lanka\u00a0in particular were\u00a0not equipped to answer to questions posed at the\u00a0podium. Either\u00a0they make horrible grammatical errors or they needed an\u00a0interpreter, another player or an official for this purpose. It is time the administrators of SLC take rigorous procedures to prepare the players who\u00a0represent\u00a0our country to be\u00a0conversant\u00a0in the English language as the game\u00a0essentially is\u00a0English established from the late 18th<\/sup>\u00a0century.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

All our cricketers in the past era<\/span><\/span>\u00a0were from Colombo schools who had no problem with English. Unfortunately, most present-day cricketers come from outstation schools and from families where the vernacular was purely Sinhalese. Hence naturally they were lacklustre in speaking English .These cricketers should be groomed by the authorities of the SLC by organizing classes and allowing them to watch international matches on television, listen to running commentaries to grasp cricketing phrases. It is not a cumbersome workout as many past cricketers who hailed from outstation schools did pick up the cricketing terms in no time. What is needed is to learn cricketing expressions to be fearless leaving \u00a0backwardness, shyness aside.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

With the ICC conducted T 20 WC in progress some Sri Lankan novice players who contributed to the success of our team spoke well on the\u00a0podium.The\u00a0manner Charith\u00a0Asalanka\u00a0spoke after been adjudicated as the \u2018Player of the Match\u2019 against Bangladesh \u00a0was commendable, spoke very\u00a0fluently. Also\u00a0the words expressed by\u00a0Wanindu\u00a0Hasaranga\u00a0de Silva also on the podium after a match was \u00a0also commendable too.It\u00a0should be said\u00a0about\u00a0Bhanuka\u00a0Rajapaksa\u00a0who spoke in both languages at a post-match\u00a0media conference was very striking.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

In is however prudent to mention about our own Test players in the 1990 decade like\u00a0Aravinda,Arjuna,Marvan,\u00a0Gurusinghe,\u00a0Mahanama\u00a0,Madugalle,Sangakkara,Mahela\u00a0etc all hailing from popular schools, were well eloquent in English \u00a0equal to the counterparts in western\u00a0countries. It\u00a0is pertinent to mention about Madugalle and\u00a0Mahanama\u00a0who were even\u00a0elected\u00a0as Match referees in the ICC elite panel, did bring\u00a0laurels\u00a0to\u00a0motherland. The\u00a0former is now the Chief Match Referee of the ICC.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

In the contest of the above the authorities of the Sri Lanka Cricket should take steps to groom the national cricketers in spoken English in order they would not have any fear when called upon to speak on the podium. \u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
