Samaraweera still traumatised by 2009 attack

Ex-Sri Lanka batsman Thilan Samaraweera says the 2009 attack on the team bus in Lahore still haunts him.

Samaraweera was the most seriously injured of the Sri Lanka players, requiring surgery to have a bullet removed from his thigh and spending two weeks in hospital.

With Sri Lanka set to play a Twenty20 in Lahore in September, Samaraweera says whether to tour should be a personal choice for players.
