The cricket body rejects the “Born Again” document.
Sri Lanka Cricket has taken steps to reject the investigation report issued by a five-member team based on the Sri Lanka Cricket team in connection with the incidents that took place during the World T20 tournament held last year.
The cricket institute said the accusation made about promoting the Born Again religion, which received much attention, is baseless.
Since the allegations made by that committee are severe, it has been referred to the National Sports Council Chaired by Mr Arjuna Ranatunga for further study.
He had stated that the two accusations made in connection with the Chief Executive Officer of Sri Lanka Cricket, Mr Ashley de Silva, have no basis.
It has been stated in this report that he was a person who propagated the Born Again religion, but he did not propagate the Bone Again religion and said that he is still a good Catholic.
Eight players, referees, officials, and coaches who have worked to propagate this Born Again religion have been mentioned in that report. Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Lyndon Hannibal, Geoffrey Vandersay, Roshan Abeysinghe, Ruwan Kalpage, Sadira Samirawickrama, Lyndon Hannibal, and Jerome Fernando are among them.
