The hearing of Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka's case, involving allegations of sexual assault, has concluded in the New South Wales District Court. Australian media has confirmed that Judge Sarah Huggett will deliver her verdict on September 28th.

Gunathilaka, a renowned cricket star, has been on trial at the Downing Centre District Court for the past four days. He pleaded not guilty to one charge of sexual assault without consent.

The charge stems from an incident that allegedly occurred on November 2nd, 2022. It is claimed that the 32-year-old engaged in stealthing, where he removed a condom during sexual intercourse, with a woman at her residence in Sydney's east.

The pair initially met at the Opera Bar near the Sydney Opera House, as captured by CCTV footage showing them embracing. They then proceeded to have drinks together in the city before taking a ferry back to the woman's home.

His comeback to Sri Lanka will hugely revitalise the team. Once he is found innocent the only block is the dastardly Minister. Rumor has it the fight between Minister and CEB meant, Minister asked players to play sub par in the last ODI (only 50 runs against India), or otherwise player suffer. The thuggery with SLC cannot further continue.

Good lessons for players who get involved in unnecessary stuff while representing the country players must take total responsibility for good behavior at all times

I always thought about the the thousands of Tamil men, women, and children who died at the hands of the Indian Army in North and East of Sri Lanka. I cursed the Indians and the traitors who helped them. Now a hero has come in the form of “ Justine Trudeau “.
