Sangakkara received a standing ovation for his stirring, eloquent speech, which focussed on the history of cricket in his native Sri Lanka.

It touched upon issues including the 2009 terrorist attacks against the Sri Lanka team, governance of the game within the country and the passion with which is is followed by his people.

The former Sri Lanka captain was the first person from his country to give the annual lecture and the first current international player to make the address.

The 33-year-old also succeeds former Australia wicket-keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist as the youngest man to deliver the MCC SoC Cowdrey Lecture.

Sri Lanka Cricket is no longer just a sport. It is a shared passion, that is a source of funds, and force for unity. Listen Sangas great speech in full...

One of the best presentations I have ever heard. We love cricket and supported Sri Lankan cricket team for a long time in the past.. But at the moment we are unable to do so because of this Government's actions in treating the Tamils after the war. I hope one day Sanga become the president and unite the two communities.
Good Luck and be brave. We will support you all the way..
