After Kumar Sangakkara, former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardena in all likelihood will also be drafted in the high-powered committee, formed to revive country’s cricket, which has been on an all time low.
According to sources in the Sri Lankan sports ministry Jayawardene may also join Aravinda de Silva and corporate honcho Hemaka Amarasuriya in the committee, along with Sangakkara.
The committee will recommend corrective measures to sports minister Dayasiri Jayasekera short and long term measures. There will also be a senior sports ministry official in the committee.
Under the administraton of Thilanga Sumathipala, SLC has become a laughing stock in the world cricket, and despite having some of the best younger players, team has completely lost its confidence in current SLC.
Jayawardene had called for a overhauling of the domestic club championship where he believed there are too many mediocre sides lowering the standard of the competition.
