I had known Maharoof in person. Must say that although he looks professional, he always makes decision which are only in his interest.

Why not. Haven’t you seen in politics. In the name of masses most clamouring for personal interests. There is an old adage Charity begins at home. So not strange for Mahroof

He is the only person from the community who is even distantly taken with regard to cricket. We note that in all the Teams of all Cricket Playing Countries in the world today there are at least one Muslim player. THIS IS NOT SO IN SRI LANKA ?

Maharoof Sir, you must serve the committee for some time until Sri Lanka Cricket improves. Being a Wesleyite - Dark Blue/ Light Blue we beg you.

Great all-rounders like Maharoof should work for Sri Lanka Cricket, at any circumstances.

Jumping from branch to branch always him, did he cunningly foresee a cabinet reshuffle affecting sports minister?

Lets me wish Maharoof and thank him for the contribution towards cricket. I am indeed saddened to read the negative reviews.

Why not consider the people like Anura Tennekoon, Michael Thissera, Stanely Jayasinghe, etc. if not Kumar, Mahela, Thilan Samaraweera, etc.?
