Cricket continues in Sri Lanka despite economic crisis

The economic crisis in Sri Lanka has brought the country to a standstill. There's a shortage of essential items like fuel, medicine and food. The president has resigned. Despite the hardships, cricket goes on uninterrupted. The first Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka gets underway in Galle on Saturday. Last weekend, as Australia played the second Test in Galle, protesters outside the stadium called for the ouster of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. An even bigger protest took place in the capital Colombo, less than one kilometer from the hotel where Pakistan's team was staying. No protester or political party objected to cricket being played while the country was burning. Everyone knows that cricket is essential for a country that is in severe shortage of foreign exchange. The Australian tour brought an estimated USD 2 million to Sri Lanka Cricket. The tourism industry also benefited with hundreds of Australian fans turning up for the matches that ended in 1-1 draw.
