Cricket Officials Nishantha Ranatunga and Sujeewa Godaliyadda had allegedly been involved in fisticuffs at the Sports Ministry this morning before an inquiry commenced, informed sources said.

Sports Director General K.D.S. Ruwan Chandra had called for the officials for the inquiry which had been launched to look into the objections filed against the candidates running for the Sri Lanka Cricket Board.

Nishantha Ranatunga, who is running for the SLC President’s post, and Sujeewa Godaliyedda, a coordinator to Deputy Speaker Thilanga Sumathipala who is also running for the same post, had exchanged fisticuffs on their way to the inquiry.

The Fat Yahapalana pundit is the real heavywieght behind the scean. Proping up his family of crooks.

Gobba Saturday, 19 December 2015 12:16 PM

Disqualify these crooks outright and let other honest people contest and hold these positions.

The two who fought should be the ground boys not be elected president. We have better people. Michael Tissera. RoyDias HIKFernando Chandra Schafter and many more gentleman who may accept if requested. So make sure you do it right this time or ICC is going to demote you. Cheers/SR

I think the ministry of sports is trying to introduce UFC in sri lanka

More like ashcharya result

These people have already served SLC without any results. What is the big point in contesting again

Excellent role models who are doing a great voluntary service to the country and not at all interested in fattening their purses. They go to the extent of acting like infants and rogues and thugs to safeguard their duties towards the country. Well done. We need more like this to emulate them and the MPs in parliament.

Yahapalanaya Good Result

Bipin Dani Friday, 18 December 2015 01:12 PM

What was the cause of the fight and what are the versions from both the concerned people ?

Sincere Friday, 18 December 2015 01:07 PM

"Guti kana ekada loku labena kuttiyada loku?!!!!!

BBala Friday, 18 December 2015 12:57 PM

These are the thugs that were spawned by the previous regime and still thinks physical force is the way forward - both Thilanga and Nishantha - nothing to choose between them. This is why gents like Tissera Wettimuny et al give SLC a wide berth unless invited to serve.

Bipin Dani Friday, 18 December 2015 12:44 PM

Why not the term of the Interim Committee be not extended or the present IC members be also requested to contest the elections ?-BIPIN DANI.

Shameless thugs attracted by money, power and fame.

BuffaloaCitizen Friday, 18 December 2015 12:13 PM

Personifies the culture these individuals belong, though they wear trousers and shirts and act like gentlemen.
