“S. Janaka Biyanwila is to be congratulated on the extent and breadth of his research. His material on developments in the South and in Sri Lanka, in particular, make a valuable contribution to the growing literature on the divide between the myths and reality of sport as it spreads and intensifies its reach across the globe.” (Braham Dabscheck, The Economic and Labour Relations Review, Vol. 29 (04), December, 2018)
