Pursuant to a meeting with the Hon. Namal Rajapaksa – Minister of Youth & Sports and after consulting with the National Selectors, Bhanuka Rajapaksa has notified SLC that he wishes to withdraw his resignation which he tendered to SLC on 3rd Jan. 2022, with immediate effect.
In his letter to SLC withdrawing his resignation, he further states that he wishes to represent his country in the game he loves for the years to come.
All rather untidy and we need to grow up to the stage where the Minister does dealing with individual players. The real issue is what happens to the fitness challenge Banuka was facing. Hope the net result is we don’t lower our fitness levels to accommodate unfit players – that would be going backwards.
