This matter has always been talked about in Sri Lanka Cricket and it came to a head when all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne was left out of the home ODI series against Afghanistan, despite scoring 75 in the final game against Australia and being named Player of the Match.

Wow! This was published in the Financial Times? Calling any religion a cult is offensive and what kind of joke is this about influencing selection?? First player agents were accused of having powerful influence and now it’s a religious minority being blamed. Ridiculous theories!
Born again cult (& Burghers) run a grip in the SLC.Vandersay enjoys a free ride all the time.Pastor Jerome, Umpire Lyndal, Ashley Silva,Mohan Silva,Jerome Jayaratna,Sangha,Mahela,Kalpage,Ravin W. Samantha D, Hathura ,Shammi ,Godfrey etc what more proof you want holding all top positions.COPE named Ashley as the worst CEO in the country but he still enjoys & warms it over a decade now.Not just reports we want urgent effective actions.They have stopped the Pirith Ceremony for departing teams which is our culture.Bring an interim board asap .
Same thing can be said about Buddhist and Sinhalese too? They hold all the top positions everywhere and they want only their religious ceremonies to take place and call it culture.
