PARLIAMENT (Daily Mirror)- President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today that he will look into the three letters that were sent by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) to the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The President requested Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa to send him the three letters and assured to look into them.

He said this in response to a statement by the Opposition Leader that the SLC had sent three letters dated November 6, 7 and 9 to the ICC requesting it to suspend the SLC, alleging that there was undue interference in the activities of the SLC.

Premadasa said he had tabled the three letters in Parliament.

"Send me the three letters. I will follow up on them," the President told Premadasa.

RW supported Shammi from the start and will not do anything about the letters. Parliament must do the needful as all MPs are agreed on the issue

Nothing will happen as he will appoint one of his famous Committees which will take six months and tax payer money and by that time the problem will be solved or report out of date.

Appoint a committee to look into the matter. Tell them to handover report after 6 months, by which time many would have forgotten the issue!

They should go to the courts and see whether any illegal matters concern.true in sense that sports minister was interfering.why do we need minister for sports there are organisations there to govern like Olympics car racing snooker darts golf etc sports should be independent

As the leader of the Opposition showed, it was the President of SLC Mr. Shammi Silva requested the ICC to suspend SLC because the Minister of Sports and the Parliament looking into corruption and wrong actions by SLC pointed out by the Auditor General. Now ICC had realized its mistake and lifted the suspension.

Your assurance of 'look into' means point noted but won't take action as the crooks in SLC also happen to be my good friends.
