Little Sri Lankan girl pictured outside the hut in a village near Unawatuna where she lives with mum and elder sister. While the rest of our party checked out elder sister’s school work, this one played catch with me with a tennis ball – she had a powerful throw. Candidate for a future women’s cricket team?
