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.

Pathirana, Wanindu, Eshan Await Fitness Nod for IPL 2026
Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana, Eshan Malinga, and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga are set to join their respective franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, pending clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) mandatory fitness tests.
The assessments, scheduled in the coming days, will determine their readiness after injuries kept them out of the ICC T20 World Cup earlier this year. Early signs suggest the players are recovering well, and officials remain optimistic about their participation.
Pathirana, who became the most expensive Sri Lankan player in IPL history after Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for INR 18 crore at the mini-auction, is expected to be a key figure with his death-over bowling expertise. He previously impressed at Chennai Super Kings, earning recognition for his composure under pressure.
While the trio awaits clearance, several Sri Lankan cricketers have already received their No Objection Certificates (NOCs). Kamindu Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Dushmantha Chameera are preparing to join their franchises, with Nissanka heading to Delhi Capitals, Chameera also continuing with Delhi Capitals, and Mendis retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In total, seven Sri Lankan players will feature in IPL 2026, underlining the growing presence of the island nation’s talent in the league.
