Shocked by the early embarrassing exit from the ongoing Asia Cup in UAE, Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) has indefinitely postponed national team’s post tournament press conference, was scheduled for thursday at 10 AM.
Placed in the rather easy group with Bangladesh and Afghanistan, Sri Lanka hit a new low, as they comprehensively lost matches against both the sides.
Captained by Angelo Mathews, Sri Lanka whipped by Bangladesh in the opening game of the tournament and had to beat Afghanistan by a long way to keep their prospects alive. Instead, they could do no better than allow Afghanistan to score 249 and then implode in style.
As they returned in midnight today, SLC initially called for a press conference. However, late night yesterday, on the instructions of Top officials, SLC Media division emailed media organisations informing them of postponement of the press briefing.
“After embarrassing show in both the matches, captain and coach were not too keen to face the barrage of questions from the media” a top SLC Official told Cricket Age.
