Sri Lankan cricket should be run by both Jayasuriya and Arujuna Ranatunga, we can’t be pressurised by Indians to isolate our hero Arujuna. We need politicians who can standup to Indian bullies.

Consultant will only get involved when consulted. He cannot on his own oversee all teams attending SLC High performance centre. His title must be changed suitably to suit his duties

Slc money wasted again by appointing a useless person again. As head of selection comitee he was a massive failure. Even jokers like ministers sons got in to national lineup. Probably icc as a sponsor for corruption prefers slc who spends money in useless cases. It is high time as cricket loving people not to watch cricket anymore.

Will at-least now Mahela resign from his post, if he has some shame and accept the responsibility for the WC debacle?

It's obviously evident the corrupt SLC is for crooks. This political Stooges are money greedy,nothing good will happen to SriLanka Cricket but the Stooges will be prosperous and it will be the end result. The past as Chairman of Selectors speaks volumes. Nothing good happened

In any of these appointments there is no accountability or responsibility. See Mahela, he had his best collecting USD 20,000 per month and leaving cricket in the doldrums and silently vanish from the scene.

An interim committee was appointed by ROSHAN R after large scale fraud was reported by the Auditor General. Consequent to that a Case is pending. Can a new Minister annul the previous gazette and issue a new one and proceed to do changes with the alleged corrupt office bearers till a judicial order is made. A lawyer may be able to put us wise..
