New Sri Lanka Cricket chief Jayantha Dharmadasa was completely in control of the first ex-co meeting of SLC office bearers on Thursday, sources said.

Dharmadasa asked all members to unite and work towards one goal in order to bring Sri Lanka’s cricket back to its glory days. An ex-co member said that it was a very fruitful meeting and the new president made it clear that he was keen to clean up the image of SLC which has hit rock bottom.

Do you mean to say that the Ex-Co was uncontrollable for all these years, and that was the reason for moral declined in Sri Lanka cricket?
