‘Play straight’ — Chief Selector lashes NSC head

Chairman of Cricket Selectors, Pramodya Wickremasinghe, lashed out at his former skipper, Arjuna Ranatunga—the current head of the National Sports Council (NSC)—and the Minister of Sports Roshan Ranasinghe for playing spoilsport.

Ranatunga has repeatedly called for the heads of the selectors after Sri Lanka’s T20 side failed to earn a semi-final spot at the recent World Cup in Australia. This is just a few weeks after Dasun Shanaka’s men clinched the Asia Cup title, beating the much-fancied Pakistan.
