“PM Modi acknowledged that the aggressive and innovative style of Sri Lankan cricket in the 1996 World Cup in a way giving birth to T20 cricket,” an official said.

During his sojourn to the island nation, Modi recalled India’s visit to Sri Lanka in 1996 despite a bomb blast, calling it a strong symbol of sportsmanship and enduring friendship.

He said he visited Lanka immediately after the 2019 terror attacks. The spirit of India remains the same, he added.

“The Sri Lankan players requested PM Modi to support the development of a high-quality cricket ground in the northern part of Sri Lanka especially Jaffna,” the official said.

The cricketers also thanked Modi for India’s generous assistance during Sri Lanka’s economic crisis.

Modi also reiterated India’s commitment to the “Neighbourhood First” policy, citing India’s support to Myanmar during a recent earthquake.
