UNICEF: Kumar Sangakkara speaks out on HIV/AIDS

As the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 begins in the West Indies, UNICEF, in partnership with the International Cricket Council and UNAIDS has enlisted the help of the world's top cricketers to speak out about the impact of HIV and AIDS on children. Watch and hear what they have to say.

KUMAR SANGAKKARA is a hugely talented cricketer who shoulders a lot of responsibility for his team Sri Lanka. He bats at the key number three position and also keeps wicket.

He is a thoughtful man and is training to be a lawyer in his spare time. His keen interest in the world beyond the boundary has led Mr Sangakkara to become involved with the International Cricket Council, UNAIDS and UNICEF in promoting the Unite for Children. Unite against Aids campaign.

Sangakkara is perhaps the best batsman currently.. I dont think he has any weakness - he can even play brute pace and killer swing with ease. I'm Indian BTW.
