Sunway Cricket Players ‘Bowled Over’ by Legend Aravinda Da Silva

Sunway University College cricket players were given cricketing tips by legendary Sri Lankan cricketer, Aravinda Da Silva during his visit to Sunway University College.

Aravinda Da Silva, the man credited with winning Sri Lanka the Cricket World Cup in 1996, bowled over the students of Sunway University College, with his encouragements and words of support.

While he signed autographs for the students, he exhorted them to practice and work harder and to make their country proud in all their endeavours. The students, which include international students from Sri Lanka, couldn’t believe their luck when they found out that they will be joined by the star during their game this morning.

“As a fan I felt most honoured to have Aravinda to teach us some pointers. I am thankful to Sunway University College for the arrangement. It is truly the best way to learn!” said Ahamed Azaam who is pursuing a degree in Information Technology under the School of Computer Technology at Sunway University College.

Sunway University College is one of the few private institutions in Malaysia that is equipped with sporting facilities such as a full-sized field and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. It encourages its students to be an all-rounder and gives out sports scholarships every year to its student athletes.
