Sri Lanka’s first Test Captain Bandula Warnapura passed away at the age of 68 while under treatment at a private hospital in Colombo yesterday.

He was admitted to a private hospital a few days ago following heart complications.

He played in four Test matches and 12 One-Day Internationals during his international cricketing career from 1975 to 1982.
