Former Sri Lanka Cricket Captain and MP Arjuna Ranatunga revealed that he had to take a firm decision to join the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) with the sole intention of uplifting Sri Lankan Cricket and clear the corrupt Cricket administration under the able leadership of Sports-loving Opposition Leader and Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa.
Addressing a public rally, the former Sri Lankan Cricket Captain said Sri Lankan Cricket could once again be uplifted to world standard only by appointing a new Cricket administration and that could be done simply under Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa.
He said Sajith Premadsa has a clear vision not only to uplift Cricket and other Sports in the country, but also the deteriorating Sri Lankan Economy.
The former MP further said that, in addition to highly qualified Members of Parliament, a large number of professionals have also rallied round the Opposition Leader to pledge their support at the forthcoming Presidential election. Ranatunga also lamented over the current status of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) administration and said people will definitely take a firm decision to reject them and bring in a new administration soon after the forthcoming Presidential Election.
He said everybody, especially, Sports-loving people in the country, are under the impression that the country’s present Cricket management is highly corrupt. “Even Opposition Leader Premadasa brought a special Act to investigate the SLC,” he said.
He said, therefore, people in this country will take a bold decision on September 21.
