England cricket fan has been on Sri Lanka adventure since March

The 37-year-old is hoping England will return in January so he can finally see the cricket he travelled out for.

A cricket fan who travelled to Sri Lanka in March to watch England's tour is still there eight months after it was cancelled – and has vowed to remain until Joe Root's team returns.

Rob Lewis, a web designer from Sunbury-on-Thames, has been on a personal adventure during his unplanned stay in the island country, adopting a stray dog while living on a beach, becoming a DJ with his own alter ego, getting a tattoo and befriending members of the Sri Lanka cricket team's coaching staff.

Last year he impulsively booked himself a last-minute flight to Japan to watch England in the Rugby World Cup final – despite having no ticket for the game, nowhere to stay and being on crutches after undergoing a knee operation.

Things worked out in his favour as he sourced a ticket for the match and even ended up receiving free accommodation.

This time he believes his adventurous nature has again been to his advantage, as he says the situation in Sri Lanka has largely been better than in the UK during the pandemic.

"I've landed on my feet, really," he said.

"Whether it be luck or you have to put yourself out there to get in these situations, I don't really know, but I'm just trying to make the most of the situation.

"It won't last forever."
