“Sri Lanka has suffered its worst defeats in one day internationals (ODIs) recently and it is high time that the Sports Minister gets rid of everyone who controls cricket in Sri Lanka. I have come up with this comments several times before. The Sports Minister has been harping that ICC will take drastic action if he makes hard decisions on Sri Lanka cricket (SLC). However, it is better for Sri Lanka to lose the status of a cricket playing nation rather than suffering humiliating defeats repeatedly,” MP Vithnage said.
“We have already revealed scandals involving cricket in Sri Lanka in Parliament recently. I have also lodged a complaint with the CID on alleged misuse of money in SLC, but no action has been taken to date,” he added.
MP Vithanage has been highlighting issues on Sri Lankan cricket for a long time and his latest comment came after Sri Lanka’s crushing defeat against India at the World Cup fixture against India on Thursday.
