Three Sri Lankan cricketers are by and large right now tested by the International Cricket Council for coordinate fixing, Sports Minister Dullas Alahapperuma said here on Wednesday. Alahapperuma didn’t make reference to on the off chance that they were previous or current players.
“We are sorry to see that sports had missed the mark regarding control and character,” Dullas Alahapperuma said.
Be that as it may, Sri Lanka Cricket demanded no present players were associated with the ICC examination.
“SLC emphatically accepts that what the respectable clergyman really referenced was about an examination propelled by the ICC hostile to defilement unit against three previous Sri Lanka players and not the present national players,” a SLC proclamation said.
Remarking on the medication charge looked by quick bowler Shehan Madushanka, Alahapperuma said “it was pitiful and the nation had put high expectations on him”.

Madushanka was kept by Sri Lankan police a week ago on charge of having heroin. In this way, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) suspended his agreement. Dullas Alahapperuma said the legislature would before long spotlight on the dropping gauges of cricket at the school level.
It has become exposed that schools are done creating quality players. At an ongoing gathering with Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, greats, for example, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara and Sanath Jayasuriya featured the need to revive cricket at the grass-root level.
