An interim committee for the future activities of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka!!!

Published

on

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.

இலங்கை உதைபந்தாட்ட சம்மேளனத்தின் எதிர்கால செயற்பாடுகளுக்கான இடைக்கால குழு!!!

ஜஸ்வர் உமர் இலங்கை கால்பந்து சம்மேளனத்தின் தலைவராக ஜூன் 31, 2021 முதல் ஒரு வருட காலத்திற்குத் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்பட்டார். இவரது பதவிக்காலம் இந்த ஆண்டு மே மாதம் 31ம் தேதியுடன் முடிவடைய இருந்த நிலையில், நாட்டின் பொருளாதார பிரச்சனை காரணமாக ஆகஸ்ட் 31ம் தேதி வரை தேர்தலை நடத்த கால அவகாசம் வழங்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. தேர்தலுக்கு இன்னும் 2 வாரங்கள் உள்ளன.

இது தொடர்பாக திரு.ஜஸ்வர் உமரிடம் கேட்டபோது அவர் பின்வரும் கருத்தைத் தெரிவித்தார்.
“முதலில் நமது தற்போதைய அரசியலமைப்பு திருத்தப்பட வேண்டும். தற்போதைய அரசியலமைப்பு 30 ஆண்டுகளுக்கும் மேலானது” என்று திரு.உமர் கூறினார்.

இவ்வருடம் உதைபந்தாட்ட சம்மேளனத் தேர்தலில் தோற்றவிருக்கும் Kalutara கால்பந்தாட்ட லீக்கின் தலைவர் Doctor மணில் பெர்னாண்டோ இவ்வாறான கருத்தைத் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

“உலக கால்பந்து சம்மேளனத்திடம் இருந்து இரண்டு கடிதங்கள் அனுப்பப்பட்டுள்ளன, மேலும் அவர்களது பதவிக்காலம் முடிந்துவிட்டதாகவும், ஆகஸ்ட் 31-ம் தேதி முதல் அதிகாரப்பூர்வ தேர்தல் நடத்தப்பட வேண்டும் என்றும் கடிதத்தில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ளது.”

இவ்விடயம் தொடர்பில் விளையாட்டுப் பணிப்பாளர் நாயகம் மேற்கொண்ட விசாரணையில், ஆகஸ்ட் 31ஆம் திகதி முதலாவது உத்தியோகபூர்வ தேர்தலை நடத்துவதற்கான ஏற்பாடுகளை ஒழுங்கு செய்யுமாறு தற்போதைய தலைவருக்கு அறிவிக்கப்பட்ட போதிலும் அது நிறைவேற்றப்படவில்லை எனத் தெரிவித்தார். எனவே ஓகஸ்ட் 31ஆம் திகதிக்கு பின்னர் தற்போதைய தலைவர் மற்றும் ஏனைய அதிகாரிகளின் அதிகாரங்கள் இழக்கப்படும் எனவே கூட்டமைப்பு செயற்பாடுகளை தொடர்வதற்கு நிர்வாக குழுவொன்று நியமிக்கப்படும் எனவும் அவர் மேலும் தெரிவித்தார்.

Hyderabad Kingsmen Eye Maheesh Theekshana as Baartman’s Replacement

Published

on

By

Hyderabad Kingsmen, one of the two debutant franchises in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) season, are exploring options to fill the void left by South African pacer Ottniel Baartman. The 11th edition of the PSL is set to run from March 26 to May 3.

According to sources, the Kingsmen have approached Sri Lankan mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana to join their squad. His availability, however, hinges on securing a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).

Baartman, who was picked during the historic inaugural PSL auction at Lahore’s Expo Centre on February 11 for PKR 1.1 crore, has withdrawn from the tournament. Neither the player nor the franchise has disclosed the reason for his absence.

Theekshana, meanwhile, offers proven pedigree in the shortest format. The 23-year-old has already represented Sri Lanka in 83 T20Is, bagging 82 wickets at an economy rate of 7.08. His franchise résumé is equally impressive, with stints in the IPL, SA20, ILT20, CPL, and LPL, making him a sought-after asset in global T20 leagues.

The PSL’s landmark 11th edition will feature eight teams, including new entrants Hyderabad Kingsmen and Rawalpindi, battling across 44 matches in 39 days. In a significant shift, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has streamlined the tournament logistics, announcing that all fixtures will be staged in Karachi and Lahore behind closed doors.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed the revised plans after consultations with franchise owners and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the Patron-in-Chief of the league. Initially, six cities—Multan, Peshawar, Faisalabad, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Lahore—were under consideration as hosts, but the board opted for consolidation to ensure smooth operations.
With Baartman’s exit and Theekshana’s potential arrival, Hyderabad Kingsmen’s debut campaign promises intrigue, as the franchise looks to make its mark in Pakistan’s premier T20 competition.

Rajasthan Royals Rope In Dasun Shanaka as Sam Curran’s Replacement for IPL 2026

Published

By

Rajasthan Royals have confirmed Sri Lankan T20I skipper Dasun Shanaka as the replacement for England’s Sam Curran, who has been ruled out of the upcoming IPL season due to injury.

“We are disappointed to lose a player of Sam’s calibre so close to the start of the season,” said Kumar Sangakkara, Director of Cricket and Head Coach of the Royals. “Sam brings immense value with both bat and ball. However, we are pleased to have found an ideal replacement in Dasun Shanaka, a proven finisher and quality all-rounder who maintains the balance of our side.”

Shanaka, 34, is a seasoned campaigner in the shortest format. Since his debut in 2015, he has featured in 131 T20Is for Sri Lanka, amassing 1,912 runs at a strike rate of 128.40. His highest score, an unbeaten 76 against Pakistan at the T20 World Cup earlier this year, underlined his ability to deliver under pressure. With the ball, the right-arm medium pacer has claimed 46 wickets, boasting best figures of 3/16.

The Sri Lankan captain also brings prior IPL experience, having represented Gujarat Titans in 2023. His inclusion is expected to bolster Rajasthan’s lower-middle order and provide valuable depth in both departments.

Rajasthan Royals will kick off their campaign against Chennai Super Kings at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on March 30.

Kingswood College, Kandy, ended a 68-year wait with a historic triumph at the 119th Battle of the Maroons, defeating Dharmaraja College by 148 runs.

It was their first victory in the annual ‘Big Match’ since 1958, a moment that will be remembered as one of the school’s greatest cricketing achievements.

Kingswood set the tone with a first-innings total of 226 before dismissing Dharmaraja for 160 to secure a 66-run lead. In the second innings, a bold declaration at 248/4 left the Rajans chasing a steep target. The pressure proved too much, and Dharmaraja collapsed for 166, sealing Kingswood’s emphatic win.

The dominant performance brought the T.B. Tennakoon Trophy back to Randles Hill, ending nearly seven decades of anticipation and marking a new chapter in Kingswood’s cricketing legacy.
