                <description><![CDATA[Whatever side of the political divide one is on, Sri Lanka’s intervention to rescue the Iranian navy personnel in international waters in the Indian Ocean needs to be lauded. It is not a situation that Sri Lanka wanted to be in but in the middle of a widening conflict engulfing several nations in the Middle East and Gulf States; it was inevitable that the war would spill over to the Indian Ocean. One would have expected India to step in in such a]]></description>

 popular, organised group of English cricket supporters who travel worldwide to follow their cricketers, provide substantial economic benefits to host countries and their presence acts as a significant stimulus for tourism, hospitality, and ret]]></description>
