ආසියානු කුසලාන සත්කාරකත්වය අහිමි වුණොත් ශ්රී ලංකාවට ඩොලර් මිලියන 5 ඉක්මවූ පාඩුවක් !!!
2022 ආසියානු කුසලාන පන්දුවාර විස්සයි-විස්ස ක්රිකට් තරගාවලියේ සත්කාරකත්වය ශ්රී ලංකාවට හිමි වන බව පසුගිය දිනක ආසියානු ක්රිකට් කවුන්සිලය විසින් නිවේදනය කරන ලදී.
කෙසේ නමුත් ශ්රී ලංකාවේ පවතින දේශපාලන අස්ථාවරත්වය නිසා 2022 අගෝස්තු මස 27 වන දා සිට සැප්තැම්බර් මස 11වන දා දක්වා පැවැත්වීමට නියමිත එම ක්රිකට් තරගාවලියේ සත්කාරකත්වය ශ්රී ලංකාවෙන් ගිලිහී යාමට වැඩි අවදානමක් තිබේ. යම්හෙයකින් සත්කාරකත්වය ශ්රී ලංකාවට අහිමි වුවහොත් මෙරටට සිදු වන පාඩුව ඩොලර් මිලියන පහකට (05) වැඩි බව වාර්තා වේ.
ශ්රී ලංකාවට ආසියානු කුසලානයේ සත්කාරකත්වය ලබා දෙන බව නිල වශයෙන් නිවේදනය කර තිබුණත්,
ශ්රී ලංකාවේ පවතින දේශපාලන අස්ථාවරභාවය මධ්යයේ ආසියානු කුසලාන තරගාවලියේ සත්කාරකත්වය දැරීමට ශ්රී ලංකාවට හැකියාවක් තිබේදැයි නැවත සොයා බලන බව ආසියානු ක්රිකට් කවුන්සිලය නිවේදනය කොට තිබේ. එම කවුන්සිලයේ සභාපති ජේ ෂා මහතා ප්රකාශ කර ඇත්තේ මේ දිනවලදී පැවැත්වෙන අයි.පී.එල් ක්රිකට් තරගාවලිය අවසන් වූ පසු ශ්රී ලංකා ක්රිකට් බලධාරීන් සමග මේ සම්බන්ධව වැඩිදුරටත් සාකච්ඡා කිරීමට නියමිත බවයි.
වසර හතරකට (04) පසුව ශ්රී ලංකාවට හිමිවීමට නියමිත ආසියානු කුසලාන ක්රිකට් තරගාවලියේ සත්කාරකත්වය අහිමි වුණොත් එය මෙරට ආර්ථික අස්තාවරභාවය තීව්ර වීමට හේතුවක් ද විය හැකි බව වාර්තා වේ.
ஆசிய கோப்பையை நடத்தும் வாய்ப்பை இழந்தால் இலங்கைக்கு 5 மில்லியன் டொலர் இழப்பு!
2022 ஆசிய கோப்பை இருபதுக்கு 20 கிரிக்கெட் போட்டியை இலங்கை நடத்தும் என ஆசிய கிரிக்கெட் கவுன்சில் (ஏசிசி) சமீபத்தில் அறிவித்தது.
எவ்வாறாயினும், இலங்கையில் நிலவும் அரசியல் ஸ்திரமின்மை காரணமாக 2022 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஆகஸ்ட் 27 ஆம் திகதி முதல் செப்டெம்பர் மாதம் 11 ஆம் திகதி வரை நடைபெறவிருந்த கிரிக்கட் போட்டியை நடத்தும் வாய்ப்பை இலங்கை இழக்கப்பதற்கான அபாயம் அதிகம். நடத்தும் வாய்ப்பை இலங்கை இழந்தால் நாட்டுக்கு ஐந்து (05) மில்லியன் டொலர்களுக்கு மேல் இழப்பு ஏற்படும் எனத் தெரிவிக்கப்படுகிறது.
ஆசியக் கிண்ணப் போட்டிகளை இலங்கை நடத்தும் என உத்தியோகபூர்வமாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ள போதிலும், இலங்கையில் நிலவும் அரசியல் ஸ்திரமின்மைக்கு மத்தியில் ஆசிய கிண்ணத்தை நடத்தும் திறனை மீள்பரிசீலனை செய்யவுள்ளதாக ஆசிய கிரிக்கட் பேரவை அறிவித்துள்ளது. ஐபிஎல் கிரிக்கெட் போட்டிகள் முடிவடைந்த பின்னர் இலங்கை கிரிக்கெட் அதிகாரிகளுடன் மேலதிக கலந்துரையாடல்களை மேற்கொள்ளவுள்ளதாக சபையின் தலைவர் ஜே ஷா தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
நான்கு (04) வருடங்களின் பின்னர் நடைபெறவுள்ள ஆசிய கிண்ண கிரிக்கட் போட்டியை நடத்தும் வாய்ப்பை இலங்கை இழந்தால் அது நாட்டில் பொருளாதார ஸ்திரமின்மையை தீவிரப்படுத்த காரணமாக அமையலாம் என தெரிவிக்கப்படுகிறது.
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 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.
Jaswar Umar, President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka, has officially submitted his nomination to contest for the presidency of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Umar becomes the fourth candidate in the race, joining Shirantha Peiris, Deva Henry, and Asanga Seneviratne, who are also contesting for the top position in the country’s Olympic body.
His time as football chief has created divided opinions among sports professionals who evaluate his performance. On one hand, Sri Lanka’s national team has shown improvement in international results, including a rise in the FIFA rankings from 204 to 191, along with notable performances against stronger opposition.
However, his approach has also faced criticism. Stakeholders have raised concerns over the increased reliance on Sri Lankan-origin overseas players, with claims that it has limited opportunities for local talent. The long-term vision for developing youth and building grassroots football programs has become a subject of public inquiry.
Umar now aims to advance his career through NOC while he leads Sri Lankan football with both positive results and ongoing public criticism of his work.
The upcoming election will become a competitive battle because four candidates will vie for control of a key position which holds major power within the country’s sports system.
