Former Sri Lankan Cricket Captain Mahela Jayawardane has rejected the request made by Sri Lanka Cricket selectors to be a consultant to the Sri Lanka Cricket and said that “no previous recommendations were implemented and I don’t have any trust in the system.”

“With all due respect to the selectors & the sports minister i have spent 1 year in the cricket committee & 6 months in a special advisory committee & no recommendations were implemented. I don’t have any trust in the system. If anyone wants to buy time please don’t use us!, former Sri Lankan national team captain tweeted.

This is the result of allowing bookies to run SL Cricket. Don't know how much the bookies have contributed to the coffers of the former Sports Minister who nurtured them.

Let the former Sports Minister answer these allegations as well. He was lambasting Lasith Malinger for not giving a written complaint when a journalist asked him why he had not acted when Malinga had raised pitch fixing in one of the gatherings where all the cricketers present

Correct decision. You,Sanga and Murali will never fit in to work with a group of officials who are not suitable to hold posts in the cricket Board but fulfilling their interests.

I recall Mahela saying something similar some time ago. He said he will give SLC one year to implement recommendations from veterans of the game. Now even with a bonus six months added to the one year, he is quitting. Well done, Mahela.

With due respect i feel cricket has fallen to the last person this country and that is a politician who plays for the tune of politics. What does this politician know about the game of cricket. Now that SL is in the last positions God Bless Sri Lanka cricket.

Thank you Mahela for not crawling behind cricketing desk to implement extreme zoning characters.

There are athletes who are winning international competitions without any government sponsorship. I think it is time to form a league that has no control what so ever from the SLBC. Privately funded and sponsored. Develop cricketers to play in international leagues. That way Cricket in SL will be kept alive.
