Sri Lanka Players Sport Black Armbands In Cricket World Cup Match vs India. Here's Why
Sri Lankan cricket team is sporting armbands in memory of their ‘legendary cheerleader' and ‘superfan' Percy Abeysekera during their Cricket World Cup match against India on Thursday. Abeysekera passed away recently after a prolonged battle with illness at the age of 87. ‘Uncle Percy' as he was fondly known, was present at almost all the Sri Lanka matches from the 1979 World Cup, but he gained popularity after the 1996 World Cup which the country co-hosted.
