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.

Sri Lanka Eyes Long-Term Cricket Revival as Government Unveils Structured Plan
Sri Lanka’s journey back to cricketing excellence will require patience, planning, and sustained effort, according to Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage, who addressed Parliament on the future of the sport.
Highlighting the challenges facing the national game, the minister noted that the decline in cricket along with other sports—has unfolded over more than a decade. As a result, he cautioned against expectations of a quick turnaround, emphasizing that meaningful progress will take time.
Building strong athletes and competitive teams is a gradual process. It’s not something that can be rushed or treated like a short-term project
Gamage revealed that the government has already put in place a comprehensive, structured programme designed to rebuild the foundations of Sri Lankan cricket. He stressed that the initiative is focused on long-term development rather than immediate results.
Responding to criticism from opposition groups, the minister dismissed claims questioning the effectiveness of the plan, insisting that the strategy is firmly on track.
He also expressed confidence in the country’s ability to reclaim its former cricketing stature, assuring that the efforts underway will ultimately deliver results.
We are committed to restoring Sri Lanka cricket to its rightful place, and we are confident in the path we have taken,

Jaiswal, Sooryavanshi blitz helps Royals continue winning streak
A breathtaking opening assault from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi powered Rajasthan Royals to their third consecutive victory in the Indian Premier League 2026, as they defeated Mumbai Indians by 27 runs in a high-octane 11-over contest in Guwahati.
After being asked to bat, Rajasthan came out firing on all cylinders. Jaiswal was at his explosive best, smashing 77 off just 32 balls, peppered with 10 fours and four sixes. He found an able partner in Sooryavanshi, who produced a stunning cameo of 39 from only 14 deliveries, including five towering sixes. The duo stitched together a rapid 80-run opening stand in under five overs, setting the tone for a massive total.
Despite a brief slowdown following a couple of wickets from AM Ghazanfar, contributions from skipper Riyan Parag ensured the Royals finished strongly at 150/3.
Chasing 151 in a shortened game, Mumbai never truly recovered from early setbacks. Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma struck crucial blows upfront, removing key batters including Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav cheaply.
A late flourish from Sherfane Rutherford, who hammered 25 off just eight balls, briefly raised hopes, but disciplined bowling from Ravi Bishnoi and Nandre Burger kept things in control.
Mumbai Indians eventually finished at 123/9, falling well short.
