The Sri Lankan cricket team is a
national cricket team representing Sri
Lanka. The team first played international
cricket in 1975, and were later awarded Test
status in 1981, which made Sri Lanka the
eighth Test playing nation. The Sri Lankan
team transformed themselves from the
underdog status to a major cricketing nation
during the 1990s. The team went on to take
1996 Cricket World Cup beating Australia in
the finals, and becoming the World
Champions. Since then, the team continued as
a major force in international cricket, with
ups and downs in certain periods. The Sri
Lanka team did well to reach the finals of
2007 Cricket World Cup but lost to Australia
in a rain affected match to becomes the
runners up. The batting of Sanath Jayasuriya
& Aravinda de Silva, backed up by the
bowling of Muttiah Muralitharan & Chaminda
Vaas has largely contributed the success of
Sri Lankan cricket during the last 15 years.
It is administrated by Sri Lanka Cricket.
