Summary
"This book chronicles the history and origin of badminton in Sri Lanka, so that the future generations will have a resource to learn and discover the splendid journey the sport has enjoyed in the country. Though the origin of the game in Sri Lanka is shrouded in mystery, with some suggestion that it dates back to the 1920s, since then the sport of badminton has flourished for decades in the island. The book highlights the contributions and valiant effort of past players who nurtured and made the game what it is today. In addition to chronicling the history of the key tournaments from inception to the mid nineteen seventies, the book also contains pen sketches of the players who decorated the game in this period"--Back cover.
