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.

Wanindu Hasaranga Ruled Out of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Due to Hamstring Injury

Sri Lanka’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign has suffered a massive setback, with star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga ruled out of the remainder of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.

Medical scans conducted after Sri Lanka’s opening match against Ireland confirmed that the leg-spinning all-rounder will require several weeks of rehabilitation, effectively ending his participation in the global showpiece event.

Hasaranga, a central figure in Sri Lanka’s T20 plans over the past few years, sustained the injury during the early stages of the tournament. His absence leaves a significant void in both the bowling and lower-middle-order batting departments.

Widely regarded as one of the most dangerous T20 bowlers in world cricket, Hasaranga’s impact in ICC tournaments has been remarkable. With 40 wickets, he currently stands as the second-highest wicket-taker in T20 World Cup history — a statistic that underlines the scale of the blow to the co-hosts.

Beyond the numbers, Hasaranga’s ability to break partnerships in crucial moments and provide quick runs under pressure has made him indispensable to Sri Lanka’s balance in white-ball cricket.

Attention now turns to potential replacements. Leg-spinner Dushan Hemantha is expected to be named as Hasaranga’s replacement, pending official approval from Sri Lanka Cricket and the ICC Event Technical Committee. While Hemantha offers promise and attacking intent, stepping into the shoes of Sri Lanka’s premier match-winner will be a formidable challenge.

As of now, Sri Lanka Cricket is yet to issue a formal statement confirming the squad alteration.

With the tournament still in its early stages, Sri Lanka must now regroup quickly. The onus will fall on the remaining senior bowlers to shoulder added responsibility as the hosts attempt to keep their World Cup ambitions alive without one of their most influential players

“I Just Wanted to Score a Few Boundaries” – Kamindu Mendis Stars as Sri Lanka Beat Ireland in T20 World Cup Opener

Sri Lanka’s decision to draft in Kamindu Mendis at the last moment proved inspired, as the all-rounder produced a match-turning knock to guide the hosts to a 20-run victory over Ireland in their opening match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.

Coming in with Sri Lanka in trouble at 86 for 4, Kamindu counter-attacked with a blistering 44 off just 19 deliveries, striking four boundaries and two sixes to swing momentum firmly in the hosts’ favour. His innings transformed a faltering batting effort into a competitive total of 163.

I just wanted to score a few boundaries and put a partnership with Kusal Mendis

Kusal was outstanding today. He deserves a lot of credit. We wanted someone to bat through the innings.

Kusal Mendis played the anchor role to perfection, remaining unbeaten on a composed half-century and ensuring Sri Lanka batted through their 20 overs — something that looked unlikely during the middle phase of the innings.

Sri Lanka’s bowling unit then delivered a disciplined performance, led by their spin trio of Maheesh Theekshana, Wanindu Hasaranga and Dunith Wellalage, who shared seven wickets to derail Ireland’s chase. Hasaranga claimed three scalps, taking his overall T20 World Cup wicket tally to 40 — second only to Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan (50).

There was a brief scare for Sri Lanka when Hasaranga limped off after his second over, sparking concern over his fitness. However, the skipper returned to complete his spell, easing fears ahead of the remaining group matches.

Ireland showed early promise, with George Dockrell returning impressive figures of 2 for 17 and a solid 49-run partnership between Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector keeping them in the contest. But once spin was introduced in tandem, the visitors struggled to maintain momentum.

From 105 for 2, Ireland lost wickets in quick succession and were eventually bowled out for 143 in 19.5 overs, with Matheesha Pathirana picking up two wickets in the final over.

They got about 15 runs too many,” admitted Ireland captain Paul Stirling.

We were a bit sloppy in the field and we’ve got plenty of work to do before the next game. Spin is going to play a big role in this tournament, and that’s something we need to adapt to quickly.

Co-hosting the 20-team tournament alongside defending champions India, Sri Lanka could not have asked for a better start. The victory not only earned crucial points but also injected confidence into a campaign that carries high expectations on home soil
