Mahela and Sanga have played good cricket and built a good image of the country in international cricket environment. It is widely accepted all over the world.

However those who could not come up to this standard and because of the jealousy created an unwarranted situation for their premature retirement. They would have played some 2 or 3 years more T 20 cricket otherwise.

CEO and Secretary of SLC are responsible not only for this situation and other issues such as their payments and perks. The best contribution these 2 officials could do to cricket is to resign from these positions and hand them over to capable persons like former Mr. Punchihewa.

Never forget good people, and who have done good to Country... still we can't forget Dulip Mendis, Aravinda, Arjuna, Mahanama, Vasi, Murali, Athapaththu, Daramasena, you're also top of that list.
