Ranatunga seeks to weed out corruption
COLOMBO, Jan 2: Sri Lanka’s new cricket chief Arjuna Ranatunga took up his post on Wednesday, vowing to stamp out corruption in the running of the sport.
The 1996 World Cup winning captain said an independent audit group would scrutinise the accounts of the cash-rich Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) body before he took responsibility for the finances.
“My hands are clean. I will never try to make money out of the game’s administration,” Ranatunga, 44, who is also a government legislator, told reporters.
He warned that Sri Lanka’s reserve talent was drying up and needed young talent.—AFP
