Sri Lanka cricket is in shambles! As much as that after their fourth straight loss against India at R. Premdasa, Sri Lanka now will have to depend on west Indies for world cup qualification! The pride has gone. in past They used to change and Chopp players but now they are changing and chopping Captains! And the morale of team is hitting rock bottom, largely due to confusion, over almost everything!
But, the man, who has been considered responsible for all this mess up, The President of SLC Thilanga Sumathipala did a shameful act, on the one of the darkest day of Sri Lanka cricket, when supporters had to encounter with a press release of ICC, mentioning that their beloved team failed to make a direct entry for 2019 world cup.
When, Sri Lanka players were battling to save the pride of their cricket at R. Premdasa in fourth ODI against India on 31st August, Sumathipala was busy in a party, during the match!
All the secretaries and Executive Committee Officials were invited in the party, being held at Sumathipala’s Box.
First, a cake was cut, followed by Wine, beer and scotch. The party continued, even when the SL batsman were been skittles out by the Indian bowlers, as they were trying to chase down 300 plus target.
Cricket Age broke the news yesterday that as the pressure is mounting from all corners on Sumathipala, he is planning to fool the cricket fraternity by a SGM and current General Secretary Mohan De’silva could be next President of SLC.
Thus, It seems by partying, Sumathipala already started his mission to make his loyals happy!
