Promises in Peril
Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s meteoric rise to the presidency in Sri Lanka has been followed by a sobering realisation: the promises made during a campaign in the heat of a national crisis are far easier to make than to keep.

The new panel was named on Tuesday, weeks after former captain Sanath Jayasuriya’s selection committee quit following a string of defeats.
