The team first played international cricket in 1975. It was later accorded Test status in 1981, becoming the eighth test nation. The Sri Lankan team of 1996 surprised everyone by performing exceedingly well in the World Cup 1996 and becoming the World Champions. Since then, the team has been viewed in a different light, especially the batting of Sanath Jayasuriya, Aravinda de Silva, backed up by the accurate bowling of Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan.
