"It is not always about the bat and the ball. It's also always about the person, about who you are because who you are shines through at all times in the manner that you play the game in the field and also how you carry yourself off the field." "And there, you have to allow the spirit of cricket, sportsmanship, your values, who you are is a person, your integrity guides you making the right decision. And the right decision is key. It does not mean that you will always win. It does not mean that you will always lose. But when you are facing challenges, it will allow you to make a more correct decision" "From here onwards, it's up to you to decide your future....and to do that, what is required is planning, a lot of hard work, having the right guide and coaches along the way. Making sacrifices, making through tough times but above all, believing in the fact that if you work hard enough and work the right way, you skills, your talent and ability will be good enough. You don't have to make friends with your coaches, you don't have to make friends with the embias (?), you don't have to have powerful people in the cricket board in your corner, you don't have to entertain journalists to write well about you...All you have to do is work hard, plan properly, commit, focus concentrate and then your opportunity comes, display your skills to the world." "So many people will expect a lot from you. Your friends, you parents, your coaches, your teachers. But at the end of the day, it is up to you that how you want to map your future is in your hands. You have all the attributes, all the skills, all the opportunities, grab it. Don't let others decide for you...You must want to play for Sri Lanka....It is a privilege and it won't come easy. And if it does...remember the longer you play, the harder it becomes the harder you have to work and more effort that you will have to put in." "Never be afraid of making the right choice and making the right decision because the measure of a man or a woman is the ability to make the right decision when the world is against you. It is very easy to make all the decisions and see all the right things when everything is going for you but life is not like that. So be strong, be courageous. face the future with a smile, look at aversities and challenges in the eye....looking at you and what you have achieved so far, that anything is possible for you as long as you believe it." "Don't be discouraged...I had never won an award at the Cricket Schoolboy of the year. It's not the end of the life...of who is not recognised here.... You have to improve, you have to grow....I wish that people will not only speak of... the matches you have won, but also speak of you as people, of your good qualities, of your humanity, of your inspiration as a person..."

Fantastic speach but I still tell you that you had more time to play for sri lanka..you retired on a wrong time and without thinking about sri lankan future of cricket at that time you retired..there you could sacrifice a little bit of more your time. Sri lankan cricket still breathing heavily. You wouldnt have to say these things now If you could have say these things while you playing little bit longer in the middle of the crease . That's my personal idea. I have nothing against Sanga. But I felt retired 3 great players at the same time any team would be in very big trouble for long..that's the time you could change your decision of retiring with Mahela... thank you. But you are a great player there is no doubt about that. And also your speach was fantastic!!🤗👌🏾🙏🙏😊👌🏾
