Sri Lanka is currently experiencing its worst economic crisis in history. The prices of essential commodities like rice, milk powder, cooking gas and fuel have skyrocketed. Added to that, the public has been suffering long hours of power cuts for weeks.

Meanwhile, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s ruling coalition has lost its majority in parliament and the newly appointed finance minister has resigned a day after his appointment.

Amid the economic and political crisis, Sri Lanka's cricket fraternity has expressed their solidarity with the people on social media.

Jacqueline Fernandez, who is from Sri Lanka, also addressed the issue in a recent Instagram post, saying that she hopes this situation will come to an end soon.
