Malinga not selected. Danushka not selected. Pitch not suitable for SL during Indian tour due to a wrong blade. Daya in action

This is not a sportive behavior of SLC and the administrators... The carriers of the Young talented players should not be damaged .. He should have been given a warning or a penalty first before being suspended...After all its the cricket that suffers...

Talking of discipline and integerity in SLC- non existent and they impose it on others.

Is SLC playing hide and seek? Why can't the SLC release the offences committed by the player without citing the provisions. Except a handful or readers the rest will not know the offences behind the suspension and fine.

It is strange that when it comes to cricket how disciplinary action is taken but we have worse criminals who are untouchable.

On paid leave? Should removed from contract.
