Sumathipala, who is also the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, said the MPs had said that someone like Muralitharan who is loved dearly by the country joining a country like Australia comes as a surprise.
“However, there is nothing unethical in this move by Murali. As a professional, he has the freedom to make such decisions. And as the Board, we can’t question his move. That’s what we think,” he told a news conference held at the SLC today.
He expressed these as a response to a journalist who asked whether the MPs had objected to Muralitharan joining Australian camp ahead of the Warne–Muralidaran Trophy. (Champika Fernando)
