    T20 World Cup: Former captain Kumar Sangakkara admitted there was ‘a lot of hurt all round’ after co-hosts Sri Lanka were knocked out of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 following a heavy 61-run defeat to New Zealand in Colombo on Wednesday.

    Reacting publicly after the elimination, Sangakkara acknowledged the emotional toll on players and supporters while warning that Sri Lanka must urgently evolve to remain competitive in modern cricket.

    “There is a lot of hurt all round. The fans are devastated, disappointed, and angry. The players are hurting badly too. I have been in similar dressing rooms. It’s not easy. But this responsibility comes with the turf. It’s a burden and a great privilege to represent your country and your people,” Sangakkara wrote on X.
