In response to the article “Sanga cries foul” that appeared in Wednesday’s edition of The Island, Sri Lanka Cricket CEO Ashley de Silva has sent us the following clarification.
‘All decisions taken by SLC with regard to the player who represent the CLT20 tournament or any other decision are taken by the entire ExCo and not by any individual of the ExCo.
Even last year when Mr. Kumar Sangakkara requested to represent his IPL Team, the Exco whilst expressing Sri Lanka Cricket’s preference for Kumar Sangakkara to represent the Home Team at the said event, left this decision at his sole discretion, as per the Team Participation Agreement of CLT20 clearly spells out.’
