The committee appointed to investigate incidents involving the Sri Lankan cricket team during the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia has recorded a statement from controversial Sri Lankan preacher Pastor Jerome Fernando for more than two hours.   

Earlier, Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe formed a five member committee led by retired Supreme Court Judge Kusala Sarojini Weerawardena to investigate incidents that took place during the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia last November.  

The committee is tasked with investigating the national cricket team’s participation and other incidents during the ICC T20 World Cup, which took place in Australia from October 16 to November 13, 2022.
