Two relatives of Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe were also part of the non- Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) contingent that travelled to Australia for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup last year with letters from SLC, sources claimed. 

A draft of the Auditor General's report following a special audit into the T20 World Cup expenditure of SLC showed that 35 individuals who had no association with SLC had received letters for Australian visas from them.

The names of the two relatives did not appear on that list of 35 individuals, but Daily Mirror understands that they were also in fact part
of the contingent.

Daily Mirror reached out to Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe for a confirmation or denial but the Minister did not respond.
