When Islanders became world-beaters | Sport | DAWN.COM: "SRI LANKA, the Emerald Island of the east from its independence in 1948 from colonial rule to now, had a meritorious rise to reach the top of the game and become one of the countries to win the World Cup.

In ancient times, they were a kingdom and then were colonised by the Portuguese, the Dutch and in the end by the English who gave them the gift of the glorious game of cricket as the East India Company began to spread its wings."
