Conclusion… or just the dramatic beginning of the Iranian warship drama,.…………………….. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/4/at-least-100-missing-after-iranian-military-ship-sinks-off-sri-lanka-coast

Off the sunny shores of Lanka, a plot worthy of a naval Netflix series unfolded….!!!  Ali Khamenei’s sailor boys were heading home after a naval exercise in India.  On their way or called back “ගෙදර යන ගමන්” (on the way home) they reportedly had an unexpected roadside check at sea….courtesy of Uncle Sam’s boys.

The Jaffna Public Library recently hosted a commemoration to mark the 130th birth anniversary of its pioneer, Kanagasabai Mudalithambiyar Chellappah (1896–1958).

Du Plessis: Finn Allen combines strength and smarts in his batting

New Zealand 173 for 1 (Allen 100*, Seifert 58, Ravindra 13*, Rabada 1-28) beat South Africa 169 for 8 (Jansen 55*, Brevis 34, McConchie 2-9, Ravindra 2-29) by nine wickets

On Saturday, New Zealand had nervously tuned into Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, wondering if they could sneak into the semi-final. Matt Henry was on the way back home from Colombo for the birth of his second child. New Zealand’s build-up to the semi-final was just as uncertain as they waited anxiously for their bowling spearhead to return. On Wednesday, their performance in the semi-final was anything but uncertain as they KO’d South Africa, who were unbeaten until this game, and launched New Zealand into their second men’s T20 World Cup final.
