The Sri Lankan cricket selectors have responded to Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe’s criticism, dismissing it as “hilarious” and politically motivated. They rejected the criticism in light of the team’s performance during their 2.5-year tenure, highlighting significant success compared to the period before.
In response to the humiliating defeat against India, the selectors noted that the team they picked was balanced. They also pointed out that none of the teams they selected over the years faced rejection by the Minister regarding selection issues.
The selectors concluded their statement with the remark, “If the selections were wrong, the Minister who approved them is also wrong and this is strong point by the National Selection Committee.
In addition the Selectors also pointed out Sri Lanka team’s achievements during their period such as Asia Cup T 20 champions , Asia Cup ODI runners up, defeating Australia T 20 series in Sri Lanka and drew with Australia and Pakistan Test series while winning India T 20 series in Sri Lanka as well as India and several other victories up to date.
