Convening a media briefing on Tuesday, UNP Parliamentarian Sajith Premadasa, commented on the actions of Sri Lanka Cricket.

Speaking at the briefing UNP Parliamentarian, Sajith Premadasa expressed following views.

“I believe that the distasteful attack by Sri Lanka Cricket itself on two respected national players is a malicious act. It is akin to telling them that since they have won the World Cup, they will be brought before a disciplinary committee. “

“The actions taken by Sri Lanka Cricket to transform the Lions that brought us victory into wolves and monkeys is to be condemned. ”

“I wish to say to Sri Lanka Cricket that at this time they should not be holding disciplinary inquiries into Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardane, but that they should rather speak to the rulers of this country and take steps to confer on both of them the title of national heroes,” he added.
