As Sri Lanka lost fourth straight match of the ODI series against India at R. Premdasa, world cup winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga once again slammed SLC President Thilanga Sumathipala for the decline of the game in the country.
In an exclusive interview to a leading Indian media group Indian Express, Ranatunga accused Sumathipala for destroying Sri Lanka cricket.
“I think the worst part is, to tell you honestly, our administration is very poor. Cricket is run by gamblers and cricket has become a gambling game. So you can’t blame the players. I don’t agree with some of the things happening today, but unfortunately we don’t have a single person who has played international cricket in the cricket board. Some of these administrators were kept out for a long period by the former regime, because they were not suitable. That’s where the entire thing has gone wrong” he said.
Recently, Ranatunga wrote a letter to President of Sri Lanka to save the game.
