A complaint against the football administration from the former president
Former President Mr Anura de Silva has complained to the Minister of Sports that the selection committee has violated several new sports regulations regarding the nominations submitted for the football selection to be held on the 14th.
Accordingly, in his complaint, it has been stated that there is doubt regarding the decision taken regarding the acceptance of the nomination of this year’s presidential candidate Mr Jaswar Umar.
Under the new Sports Act enacted by the Minister of Sports, Section 31, Section 41 of Act No. 25 of 1973 was renewed and it was found that Mr Jaswar Umar had been recommended as guilty of a charge under “disqualifications for holding office in a sports association”, so his nomination was accepted. There is doubt about how.
Mr Anura de Silva has also asked about the fact that if certain decisions were changed according to the new act in this election, why was this issue not addressed?
Currently, the Ministry of Sports has asked for an appeal of Rs. 50 000 will be charged, while earlier this amount was Rs. 6000 In case the appeal is accepted as correct, the amount will be refunded.
It was noticeable that 24 of the 43 nominations submitted for 11 positions in the Executive Committee were rejected for the election to be held on January 14.
At the same time, all the nominations for the posts of Assistant-Treasurer and Assistant-Secretary were rejected.

Inquiry Launched Over Bloomfield’s Controversial Declaration
Sri Lanka Cricket has moved swiftly to launch an inquiry into Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club’s declaration during their Major Super Eight encounter against Moors Sports Club at Colts Grounds. The decision, which has been branded “unsporty” by critics, saw Bloomfield declare at 239 for 6 despite trailing on first innings, leaving Moors a modest chase of 147 runs. Moors completed the task comfortably, winning by four wickets in just 33 overs and reclaiming their place at the top of the table.
The declaration has raised serious questions about the spirit of competition, prompting SLC to summon captains, coaches, managers, and players from both sides for an official hearing this evening. At the heart of the probe lies a crucial issue: was Bloomfield’s move a bold tactical gamble or a breach of cricketing integrity?
With domestic cricket’s credibility now under the spotlight, the outcome of this inquiry could have significant consequences for the game in Sri Lanka, setting a precedent for how declarations and match strategies are judged in the future.

Royal–Thomian One-Day Clash Moved from Night to Day to Counter Fuel Crisis
The Organizing Committee of the 49th Mustangs Trophy, the prestigious Royal‑Thomian One‑Day Cricket Encounter, has announced a significant change to this year’s fixture. The match, scheduled for 28th March 2026, will now be played as a day event instead of the originally planned day‑night format.
This decision comes in response to the ongoing global fuel crisis, with organizers emphasizing the importance of reducing energy consumption and standing in solidarity with the wider public. By shifting to a daytime schedule, the committee aims to minimize the additional fuel demands typically associated with floodlit matches, reflecting a strong commitment to social responsibility and national interest.
Guidance for this move was provided by the Heads of Royal College and S. Thomas’ College, and the change has been formally endorsed by the 147th Royal‑Thomian Joint Match Organising Committee. Both schools’ Old Boy fraternities, along with sponsors, have expressed full support for the adjustment, underscoring the unity and shared responsibility that define this historic encounter.
The Joint Committee reaffirmed that while the format has changed, the essence of the Mustangs Trophy remains untouched.

KKR Not Seeking Replacements for Matheesha Pathirana
Kolkata Knight Riders have confirmed they will not seek replacements for Nitish Rana and Matheesha Pathirana ahead of the upcoming IPL season. Rana, who was withdrawn from India’s T20 World Cup squad due to a knee injury, recently underwent surgery and will not be available this year. Over the past two seasons, he had become a reliable pacer for the franchise, taking 19 wickets in IPL 2024 and 15 wickets in IPL 2025, while also adding batting depth to his game. Despite his absence, the management believes the squad has sufficient pace-bowling options and does not see an obvious Indian replacement, with Vaibhav Arora, Umran Malik, Kartik Tyagi, and Akash Deep already in the ranks.
Pathirana, meanwhile, was sidelined due to injury while representing Sri Lanka in the World Cup. However, KKR are optimistic about his recovery and expect him to be available at some stage during the season. The franchise, which invested INR 18 crore to secure his services, is banking on his return to strengthen their death bowling. On Monday, Pathirana’s manager posted a picture of the pacer in KKR colours, raising hopes of his participation.
By choosing not to sign replacements, KKR have signaled confidence in their existing squad depth. While Rana’s absence will test their domestic pace resources, Pathirana’s potential mid-season return could provide a crucial boost, especially in the latter stages of the tournament.
