    Arjuna is an outspoken gentleman, he has the freedom to express his views, it is permitted to in a democracy, appreciate his contribution to cricket and SriLanka.

    SLC seems to be having a very rewarding and demanding job. All sorts of games except çricket seems to be the agenda for many.

    Ranil wickremasinghe should not appoint those who had been rejected by the people themselves. This will lead DETHRONING Ranil wickremasinghe from his Presidential seat.

    this is no surprise. Arjuna the Mr.Clean will certainly probe into the fraud of SLC and also the Board Members of SLC and the Cricket Commentator Roshan Abesinghe who are in the BORN AGAIN religious cult will never want Arjuna and Minister as they will be a obstruction for unethical conversion of the buddhist players in future

    Hope they are not from Kappam from Aprasanna!!

    Arjuna is always the same.

    I think SL should confine Cricket for local entertainment only. Before 1982, there was beautiful cricket between schools and clubs and occasional whistle stop tourist teams, with hardly any money involved. Over the past 25 years it's all about money with a little bit of cricket - cutthroating, overseas flats, BMWs, and greed followed.

    Here we go..The corrupt Executive Committee of SLC do not want any changes because that's their bread and butter..! Arjuna..change the whole structure of SLC and send them home..be firm ..! Surely you can fix this mess.

    Some do not like Arjuna , because he is a disciplinarian. No one will be able to damage for sex bribes from the Female Crickters.

    Cricket problem again Tuesday, 16 August 2022 04:42 PM

    This should be interesting to watch. Ranil's ex-UNP man Arujuna, a purely political appointment to the role of chairman. I expect government will have lawyers and judge smash the money rich SLC whatever court case it tries. SLC is disreputable enough. Kusal Mendis after running over the elderly cyclyst would be banished from team forever in any country with good and fair democracy (likes of UK, New Zealand, and Australia). On the other hand, SLC show come Kusal, our country just doesn't have any talent, if you get away with it, no crime matters. So, you play, your paying Rs. 100,000 for that man's life is plenty for your high status as cricketer. In India and Pakistan where cricket is like a religion, and cricketer can do any wrong to public like here and get away with it.
