You can delete this thread if you want but, my sri lankan friend is the nephew of kumar dharmasena, and he told me that dilshan was a muslim who converted to buddhism....
IS THIS TRUE OR IS HE CHATTING BULL?

[AsifTheManRahman]

Born to a Malay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lankan_Malays) family (Islamic leader in mosque), Dilshan converted from Islam to Buddhism at an age of 16 years in 1994

[Abid_Khan]

Yeah, it also stated his change of religions in his cricinfo profile (I remember reading it some time ago)

Dilshan's mother was a Buddhist.
He had always belief on Buddhism than Islam. Because that's what he used to practice in home also.
