Sri Lanka Raises Safety Concerns Ahead Of England Tests Due To Anti-immigrant Riots In UK: Report
Cricket Sri Lanka: Cricket Sri Lanka has raised concerns over the safety of its Test team ahead of the three-match series against England, starting on August 21 in Manchester, due to anti-immigrant riots that have erupted in various cities of the United Kingdom.
According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, the Sri Lankan players already in England - seven players and two support staff - have asked the country's cricket board to arrange for better security over the next few days, as they travel to and from a ground near London, due to the widespread riots targeting immigrants in the UK.
The riots in the UK have taken place after a mass stabbing incident in Southport, where three children were killed. Due to disinformation about the attackers, many immigrants, as well as their businesses and places of worship, have come under attack from far-right groups.
