Congratulations New Team. Hope the President being a politician will not debar him from ICC meetings.We expect the new team to function with transparency, and let corruption in the SLC be a thing of the past.

Politicians should not allowed to hold SLC administration posts.

Thank god ! Aruna is out. Thinlanga is not the best, but million times better than the Ranatungas.

Wait and see good or bad! Actions will tell the verdict,

At last got rid of the main thief who plundered SLC. But we cannot trust Thilanga also.No choice its like Beating Mahinda.

Dee Sunday, 03 January 2016 12:58 PM

Good choices. Seems like free and fair is the order of the day. One could not have dreamt of such choices a year back.

Congratulations....!!! This is the time to make a move to restructure the entire cricketing structure which has been restricted mostly around Colombo,Gampaha,Kalutara,Kandy,Galle,Matara and Kandy districts since 1982. This is the time to make a real Sri Lankan Development squad by Based on Provincial level by handling the hidden cricketing talents of Sabaragamuwa, Uva, North Central provinces.
