Sri Lanka Legend Muttiah Muralitharan has launched a scathing attack on the current administration of Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) and blamed that They are destroying the game culture of the Island.
“The truth is that Sri Lankan cricket is currently in a mess” Said the legendary bowler on April 18, the day after his 46th birthday.
In last two years, Sri Lanka Cricket has been in disarray, largely due to inept decisions by the Thilanga Sumathipala led administration. The top officials like K. Mathivanan, Ashley De Silva, Ravin Wickramaratne have destroyed the reputation of Sri Lanka cricket big time, as domestic match fixing scandal rocked the image.
“The main problem is that Politicians have taken over the running of the game and with little or no knowledge of the game they are destroying the institution with every passing day” he added further.
The greatest bowler of world cricket with over 1300 international wickets, Murali has been associated with IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad as bowling coach after his retirement.
Yesterday, Legend celebrated his birthday and Many congratulated him on the special day.
