This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "You would always prefer to give back to your own country first but the way Mahela conducted himself as a player for Sri Lanka over the years has been exemplary" in the context of "Kumar Sangakkara on Mahela as a coaching consultant for England, quoted on The Guardian, "Kumar Sangakkara: England made smart move on mentor Mahela Jayawardene", March 13, 2016." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
