Four Lankan officials resign
COLOMBO, May 13: Four key members of Sri Lanka’s scandal-plagued cricket administration resigned on Monday in a wrangle over who should represent the country at next month’s International Cricket Council meeting.
Sports Minister Johnston Fernando wants Thilanga Sumathipala, the controversial chief of the cricket board which was sacked last year and replaced by an interim committee, to go to London.
But Kushil Gunasekara, secretary of the interim committee, told Reuters: “On a matter of principle we cannot accept the sports minister’s decision. It is completely scandalous.”—Reuters
