• Individual criticised the national team for their poor  performance in India

Video footage showing that a heated argument ensured between Sri  Lanka’s fast bowler Suranga Lakmal and another individual upon the national  team’s arrival at the Bandaranaike International Airport from India  earlier yesterday, over the national team setback during the Indian tour.  

 Speaking to the media after the incident, Lakmal said that the  particular individual criticised the national team for their poor  performance in India.   

“When this particular person made a statement criticising  the team for losing the matches in India, I explained to him on the  spot, it was just another incident,” he said adding that “such incidents  are unavoidable.”  He also said that everyone expects the national team to  win, but every time you can’t “but for cricketers, they should be able  to accept both victory as well the defeat.”  

“Hereafter I won’t be playing for the country, but I expected cricket lovers will treat our team members properly,” he added.
