Talking to Former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim, Jayasuriya said, “We want more Indians to come and visit Sri Lanka. We have several cultural and nice places to visit in Sri Lanka. We have everything on the small Island.”
Shortages of essential supplies in Sri Lanka have eased somewhat in the last month, but normalcy is still a long way off.

“It’s important for us to support Sri Lanka as a team. Players are also doing their bit. We are expecting 1 million tours by the end of this year. We are focussing and promoting mainly India to come and visit Sri Lanka and see how beautiful this country is,” he further said.
Recently, economic crisis-hit Sri Lanka won the Asia Cup 2022 in UAE and took the top spot for the first time in eight years by upsetting Pakistan in the final. The tournament was shifted from Sri Lanka to the United Arab Emirates because of the country’s political and economic crisis.
