Minister Dayasiri calls a report from personal managers of Sri Lanka cricketers
The Ministry of Sports yesterday directed a letter to Sri Lanka Cricket calling for a report from personal managers of Sri Lankan cricketers. The dialogue that has ensued in the social media and certain matters that emerged in relation to the influence on decisions of the national team in connection with Charles Austin who appears as the sole
Manager of 20 players including Mahela, Sanga, Matthews and Malinga has led to this situation.
BBC was addressed and informed that issues had cropped up because of these Managers even at the time that Dayasiri took up his appointment as Sports Minister and because there happens to be a Manager who was making an effort to remove Lakshan Sandaken (the Man of the Match in the Second One-day Match played against Zimbabwe) from that game before the match itself.
