Sri Lanka players will wear black armbands during today's game against India to pay tribute to the late Percy Abeysekera, the legendary cheerleader, the Sri Lanka Cricket said.

Abeysekera was an integral part of the game of cricket in Sri Lanka and did play a pivotal role from beyond the boundary line to support and motivate the players.

His towering legacy spans across Sri Lanka’s pre- and post-test eras, and his name will remain etched forever among cricket lovers, the SLC said.

It was just as well they did. Their performance yesterday (02 Nov) sounded the death knell for Sri Lanka's cricket as well.

Please keep wearing it because Sri Lanka cricket just died.

That's why they were all out for 55 runs in respect of the late Percy.
