In October and November 1982 a group of Sri Lankan cricketers went on a private tour of apartheid South Africa. It was the first time a tour comprising all non-white cricketers had toured white South Africa (a team of Kenyan Asians had previously visited the black areas of South Africa, and the International Wanderers XI and DH Robins' XI that had toured in the 1970s included a small number of non-white players). They played under the banner "Arosa Sri Lanka", the "Arosa" bit coming from their promoters. All players were banned from cricket for life as a result.

The Arosa Sri Lanka team was captained by Bandula Warnapura. They were soundly beaten in the two rebel Tests and four rebel ODIs that they played against the full South African cricket team.
