If it is true that cricketers' or their homes have been attacked it is utterly silly and outrageous. Unfortunately this type of incident takes place in India and Pakistan too.
I am happy to say that in Sri Lanka this does not happen. Even after losing all three games at the Asia Cup and finishing rock bottom, our crickets have come back here and they go about without any problems. They are much respected generally, as players.
This is only a game and though emotions could run high during an Asia Cup final they should not turn sour.
No one has the right to "force" a cricketer not to fail !
They took all the pressure out there and wanted to do they best. Now they should be left in peace.
