Former Sri Lankan Cricket captain and current Selection Committee head Sanath Jayasuriya said that he was looking forward to the report into the current inquiry regarding a skit at the Sri Lanka Cricket awards ceremony held recently.

“I’m awaiting a report into the entire episode” he told Daily Mirror Online.

Earlier the Daily Mirror reported that according to sources, elements within Sri Lanka Cricket itself had been instrumental in including the skit which had come under fire from certain officials who had been portrayed in it.

Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage earlier said that he was awaiting a report and has written to the Secretary of Sri Lanka Cricket Nishantha Ranathunga asking for a full inquiry into the incident. (HF)

Satrical humour against people in show-biz and politics is par for the course. You cant take it, as you know nothing about either.

learn to live with parody and criticism when holding public office, surely there was an element of truth behind the skit.

Man ... it was just a comic act ... whether on you or anyone. Years back former President JRJ called the cartoonists to draw his funny pictures in front of him. If you want to wear the hat wear it

Yeah, we sent you up there because we love and respect for the great cricketer you are and hoped against hope that once there you will change the idiotic thinking of the rest of your clan in that August assembly. But we were wrong, You have turned out to be another brainwashed two-bit politician who just cannot tak a bit of r satire!!!

SLC should not have invited him as a guest and then insult him. Its not like making jokes of him in another forum. You don't invite a person as a guest and make jokes of him.
