Spinner Harbhajan Singh to invest in Sri Lanka

COLOMBO: The star Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh is to invest in Sri Lanka, the Ministry of Finance announced today.

Harbhajan met Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake in his office yesterday and discussed investment opportunities in Sri Lanka.

The Ministry quoted Singh as saying he was looking forward to invest in Sri Lanka given the long standing friendly relations between the two countries.
