Stumped

Available for over a year

Sri Lanka's 1996 World Cup hero Hashan Tillakaratne remembers the amazing victory over Australia that rocked cricket's established order. And how the sport is providing an escape to those New York immigrants who feel isolated in Donald Trump's America. Photo: Sri Lanka during the 1996 World Cup final (Getty Images)
