Niroshan Dickwella was drafted into Sri Lanka T20 squad last week in place of Kusal Janith Perera who is claimed to be suffering from an illness and is unavailable for Bangladesh tour. Since then the chief selector Upul Tharanga has come under heavy criticism over the selection of the notorious wicket-keeper batsman.
Sri Lanka’s T20I captain Wanindu Hasaranga has been suspended for two international matches after his accumulated demerit points reached five within a 24-month period following his latest breach of the ICC Code of Conduct, for which he received a 50 percent fine and three demerit points.
Wanindu Hasaranga’s exclusion from the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s retained players list raised quite a few eyebrows. RCB went all-out for the Sri Lankan all-rounder in the 2022 IPL Auction, shelling out INR 10.75 Crore. He was the team’s primary spinner.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) President Shammi Silva said assurances would be required from the highest offices of the country that there would be no further political interference in SLC’s administration, if it is to have its suspension by the International Cricket Council (ICC) lifted.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has said there was no dubiousness behind the transfer of USD 2 million from its accounts this morning, which was highlighted by Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe during the Parliamentary debate on SLC today.
Bangladesh bowling coach Allan Donald has said that it was difficult to watch the dismissal of Angelo Mathews, who was ‘Timed out’ in Delhi, and that his instinct was to walk out on the field and stop his skipper from going forward with his appeal.
Glenn Maxwell said his entire body was in pain and that he almost retired during an epic match-winning double century for Australia at the 50-overs World Cup, hailed Wednesday as the greatest one-day knock of all time.
Angelo Mathews has refuted the fourth umpire Adrian Holdstock’s claims that the batter, who was ‘Timed out’ against Bangladesh, was not ready to face his first delivery within two minutes of walking in before his helmet broke, saying the team has video evidence of him being ready in time.
The last time India and Sri Lanka met at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai was on April 2, 2011. It was the World Cup final. With just four runs needed off 11 balls, a thunderous wallop from MS Dhoni off Nuwan Kulasekara flew over long-on into the crowd as India recorded the highest run-chase in World Cup history and beat Sri Lanka by six wickets, lifting the trophy.
Shaheen Shah Afridi grabbed three wickets while openers Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique cracked half-centuries as Pakistan stormed to a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh on Tuesday to stay afloat in the race for a World Cup semi-final place.
