A cricket tour by Harrow School ended in tragedy when they were caught up in the 2004 tsunami, and Julian Ayers, one of the players’ fathers, was among those who died. As a result, the Harrow Tsunami Relief Fund raised more than £475,000, a large part of which was spent rebuilding a local school, Vidyaloka College. The
Daily Telegraph reports on how some of that side returned to Galle for the Test.
"It was a very emotional moment. After all that destruction and loss of life, to see England as the first Test team to play on the ground really brought a lump to my throat."
