Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe informed the Special Investigation Unit for Preventing Sports Offences to investigate statements made by Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Committee Chairman Pramodya Wickramasinghe.
Wickramasinghe's recent statement implicated specific individuals within the Sri Lanka Cricket Board, brokers allegedly involved in match-fixing, and those seeking to manipulate player selections for personal gain. The chairman highlighted these elements as major contributors to the challenges faced by Sri Lankan cricket.
In a detailed letter, Wickramasinghe exposed a series of conspiracies that he believes have played a significant role in the decline of Sri Lanka Cricket over the past two and a half years. The probe initiated by Minister Ranasinghe aims to shed light on these allegations and ensure the integrity of the sport is upheld.
