Siraj dedicates man of the match cash prize to Colombo groundstaff
17 September 2023 09:23 pm - 33 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Claiming the player of the match award in the 2023 Asia Cup Final for his best ODI bowling figures – 6/21 – Mohammed Siraj dedicated his prize money to the ground staff at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. With torrential rains in the Sri Lankan capital, the ground staff were also awarded by the Asian Cricket Council for their work in putting the games together at the ongoing continental tournament. “This cash prize goes to the groundsmen. This tournament wouldn’t have been possible without them,” Siraj said post-match. The Indian pacer would term his bowling on Sunday against Sri Lanka as his ‘best spell’.

Well done Mohammed Siraj, very generous of you sir. it's a pleasure to actually watch the Indian cricketers in full flight. They are competitive and professional but pleasant in personality.

DJ Monday, 18 September 2023 05:27 AM
A good lesson for the Sri Lankans. Grounds staff are poorly treated.
Tissa Fernando Monday, 18 September 2023 05:58 AM
First time in the history. He us thanking the grounds men for the conditions.
He paid them for their delivery of the contracted services Monday, 18 September 2023 04:27 PM
This is not the first time in history payment is made for corruptions of cricket. Only SLPP and Mahinda supporter would believe it was all good and clean.
Abeygunaratna Monday, 18 September 2023 06:30 AM
Great gesture. Some consolation for the heartbroken SL fans.
Kaleel Cader Monday, 18 September 2023 06:41 AM

Mahila Monday, 18 September 2023 07:36 AM
Induce, Ground Staff to make the turf to suit his needs!!! Good one!!! Everything is FAIR in Sports and Life!???
Sri Lankan Monday, 18 September 2023 08:03 AM
In a game that is getting mired in muddy waters, you Mohammed Siraj, is a true role model. Thank you for your kind gesture and Congratulations on your performance.
Nimal Monday, 18 September 2023 08:37 AM
Thank you very much indeed, Siraj. You have shown a great degree of appreciation for a group of people who are extremely dedicated to their job, but whose work goes unrecognized.
joshua Monday, 18 September 2023 08:58 AM
Great initiative. But ensure SLC distributes it to these deserving guys. We know SLC fellows well.
Karalasingam Sivalingam Monday, 18 September 2023 09:39 AM
Very good example ,let rest of our cricketers follow suit.
Ceylonese Monday, 18 September 2023 09:57 AM
Thank you Siraj, hope our politicians learn something from this.
Man Monday, 18 September 2023 10:07 AM
SLC never make such gestures as they want to earn as much as possible for their well being only but cricket after stopping the first class tournament for ruining cricket of SL.
Human Being Monday, 18 September 2023 11:39 AM
now that is an amazing gesture by this wonderful human being, Grateful to you Mr.Siraj, you set an example of how to recognize the hard working people and reward them, May the almighty lord shower his blessing upon you
nadarajah Monday, 18 September 2023 12:07 PM
the ground staff is paid a salary for the job performed. We need to reward only people who take a lots of risks in life to save lives
Duleep Balasooriya Monday, 18 September 2023 12:17 PM
Siraj has a bright future.... he is a simple guy always with a smile. Thanks, Siraj and well done.
Anthony. R Monday, 18 September 2023 12:46 PM
Wow,what a wonderful gesture, appreciate it very much. Hope this money goes to the correct people (ground staff at the R.Premadasa Cricket stadium),hope the fraudster in SLC be honest for once at least in this case.
N V Jen Monday, 18 September 2023 01:32 PM
Well done Siraj. Very generous of you. May our own team learn from you about benevolence.
Reader Monday, 18 September 2023 02:23 PM
At yesterday's prize giving , there was an award of USD75,000 for the ground staff !
Nihal Dharmatileke Monday, 18 September 2023 05:24 PM
That’s why cricket is known as “The gentleman’s game. Appreciate your generosity and wish you all the best all the time.
Fred Monday, 18 September 2023 08:50 PM
That's great. A payment similar to the US dollar 50000 should also be a permanent feature for future events.They may be minor staff but they play a major role in ensuring the success of a tournament
ANNECUNT Monday, 18 September 2023 09:20 PM
If our politicians work like the ground staff then our country will be very rich country
ANNECUNT Monday, 18 September 2023 09:54 PM
One advice for Mr Namal Rajapaksa leave politics and be a ground staff of sri-lanka
ANNECUNT Tuesday, 19 September 2023 02:24 AM

Iqbal Tuesday, 19 September 2023 03:26 AM
Payment for making the pitch suitable for Indian bowling. Obviously. No free lunches.
