An interim committee for the future activities of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka!!!
Mr Jaswar Umar was elected as the President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka for a period of one year from June 31, 2021. His tenure was supposed to end on May 31 this year, but due to the country’s economic problems, the Ministry has given time to the federation to hold the election on or before August 31. Know the election is less than 2 weeks away but the current administration did not organize anything to hold the election.
When asking Mr Jaswar Umar in this regard, he expressed the following opinion.
“First of all, our current constitution must be amended. The current constitution is more than 30 years old,” said Mr Umar.
Dr Manil Fernando, President of the Kalutara Football League, who is going to appear for the election of the Football Federation this year, expressed such an opinion.
“Two letters were sent from the World Football Confederation (FIFA), and the letter states that their term of office is over and that the first official election should be held on August 31.”
In this regard, the Director General of Sports stated in an inquiry that although the current President was informed to organize the arrangements to hold the official election on August 31, he has not done anything for that to date. Therefore, after August 31, the powers of the current President and other officials will be lost, so an administrative committee will be appointed to continue the activities of the Federation, he added.
ශ්රී ලංකා පාපන්දු සම්මේලනයේ ඉදිරි කටයුතු සදහා අතුරු කමිටුවක්!!!
2021 වසරේ ජුනි 31 දින සිට වසරක කාලයක් සදහා ශ්රී ලංකා පාපන්දු සම්මේලනයේ සභාපති ධූරයට ජස්වර් උමර් මහතා තෝරා පත්කරගත්හ. එතුමාගේ ධුරය කාලය මෙම වසරේ නිමා වූ මැයි 31 අවසන් වීමට තිබූ අතර නමුත් රටේ පැවති ආර්ථික ගැටලු හේතුවෙන් අගෝස්තු 31 දක්වා නිලවරණය පැවැත්වීමට කාලය ලබා දී ඇත. එම නිලවරණයට ඇත්තේ තවත් සති 2කටත් අඩු කාලයකි.
මේ සම්බන්ධයෙන් ජස්වර් උමාර් මහතායෙන් විමසීමේදී එතුමා පළ කලේ මෙවන් අදහසක්.
“සියලු දේටම ප්රථම අපේ දැනට තිබෙන ව්යවස්ථාව සංශෝධනය විය යුතුමයි. දැනට පවතින ව්යවස්ථාව අවුරුදු 30කට වඩා පරණයි” උමර් මහතා පවසා සිටී.
මෙවර පාපන්දු සම්මේලනයේ නිලවරණයට ඉදිරිපත්වීමට සිටින කලුතර පාපන්දු ලීගයේ සභාපති වෛද්ය මනිල් ප්රනාන්දු මහතා ප්රකාශ කලේ මෙවන් අදහසක්.
“ලෝක පාපන්දු සම්මේලනයෙන් ලිපි 2ක් එවා තිබූ අතර, එම ලිපියෙන් සදහන් වන්නේ ඔව්න්ගේ නිල කාලය අවසන් බව හා අගෝස්තු 31 ප්රථම නිලවරණය පැවැත්විය යුතු බවය.”
මේ සම්බන්ධයෙන් ක්රීඩා අධ්යක්ෂක ජෙනරාල්වරයා කල විමසීමකදී ප්රකාශ කර සිටියේ, අගෝස්තු 31 ප්රථම නිලවරණය පැවැත්වීමට කටයුතු සංවිධානය කරන ලෙස වත්මන් සභාපති වරයා දැනුවත් කලත් එය ඉටු කර නොමැති බවයි. ඒ නිසා අගෝස්තු 31 පසු වත්මන් සභාපති වරයාගේ හා අනෙකුත් නිලධාරීන්ගේ බලතල අහිමි වන බැවින් සම්මේලනයේ කටයුතු ඉදිරියට කරගෙන යාමට පරිපාලන කමිටුවක් පත්කිරීමට නියමිත බව ඔහු වැඩි දුරටත් පැවසීය.

Dilshan Madushanka Earns IPL Opportunity with Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sri Lankan pace sensation Dilshan Madushanka has secured a spot in the Indian Premier League, stepping in as a replacement player for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The franchise announced his inclusion after England fast bowler Brydon Carse was ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
Madushanka, known for his sharp left-arm pace and ability to swing the ball early, joins the squad as a like-for-like replacement. His addition comes at a crucial stage in the tournament, where teams are looking to fine-tune their combinations for a strong finish.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been actively reshaping their bowling unit, and Madushanka’s arrival is expected to add both variety and depth. His international experience, particularly in high-pressure situations, makes him a valuable asset as the team navigates the latter half of the competition.
For Madushanka, this opportunity marks another significant milestone in his growing career. Having already impressed on the global stage with his pace and wicket-taking ability, the IPL now offers him a platform to showcase his skills among some of the best players in the world.

Chamindu Wickramasinghe’s bowling action under scrutiny?
Sri Lankan fast bowler Chamindu Wickramasinghe has come under the spotlight after his bowling action was officially reported as suspicious during a recent domestic encounter.
The incident occurred in a match of the National Super League held from April 6 to 9, where the Dambulla side faced Colombo. Wickramasinghe, representing Dambulla, drew attention from match officials, prompting concerns over the legality of his action.

The on-field umpires, Deepal Gunawardena and Ravindra Wimalasiri, made the report in accordance with standard procedures. Match referee Manoj Mendis also oversaw the process, ensuring that all regulations were followed.
Following the report, the matter has been referred to the Sri Lanka Cricket High Performance Unit for further assessment. Wickramasinghe may now be required to undergo biomechanical testing to determine whether his bowling action complies with the laws of the game.

Sri Lanka lasses continue to impress
Sri Lanka Under-19 Women extended their impressive run in the Tri-Series with a composed four-wicket victory over Australia Women Under-19 cricket team at Bill Pippen Oval Today.
After being put in to bat, Australia U-19 struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Sri Lankan bowling attack. Ayla Johnson top-scored with 18 off 29 balls, while Alyssa Dermody added a quick 13. However, regular wickets halted their progress as they finished on a modest 91 for 9 in 20 overs. Limansa Thilakarathne led the bowling effort with an impressive 3 for 26, well supported by Chamudi Praboda, who claimed 2 for 21.
In response, Sri Lanka Women Under-19 cricket team chased down the target with 92 for 6 in 19.3 overs. Despite a few setbacks, Pramudi Methsara anchored the innings with an unbeaten 21 off 17 balls, while Danodya Sewmini contributed a steady 14. Australia’s Filippa Suesee (3 for 18) and Ira Aery (2 for 13) fought hard, but Sri Lanka held their nerve.
