The reasons behind the delay in holding Sri Lanka Rugby official election!!!

Published

on

The Director General of Sports has decided to temporarily postpone the Sri Lanka Rugby official election which was to be held on the 27th.

Director General of Sports Amal Edirisuriya said that after examining the appeals submitted by the sports associations regarding the suspension of the voting power of a number of sports clubs in the relevant election, the Sri Lanka Rugby official election was temporarily suspended until a decision was made by an advisory committee.

In this official election, which was prepared to be held tomorrow (27), only the former President of the Sri Lanka Rugby Federation, Mohammad Illiyas, who is currently under ban from the Asian Rugby Federation, submitted nominations for the position of President.

Regarding the submission of these nominations, the nominations were submitted two weeks ago according to the old constitution of the Sri Lanka Rugby Federation and the sports associations are accused that they did not get enough time to submit objections.

In accordance with the new constitution of the Rugby Federation, the nominations must be given before 30 days.

Also, experts in the field said that if a person who is banned from the Asian Confederation is elected as the president in this election, there is a possibility that Sri Lanka will lose its membership in the International Rugby Federation. In addition, this may cause a risk of not receiving funds for the development of rugby in Sri Lanka.

Thus, they further realized that there is a risk of the future of the entire rugby game in Sri Lanka falling into a deep abyss due to the needs of one person.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි නිලවරණය කල් මැරීමට හේතුව!!!

එලැබෙන 27 වැනිදා පැවැත්වීමට තිබූ ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි නිලවරණය තාවකාලිකව කල් දැමීමට ක්‍රීඩා අධ්‍යක්ෂ ජෙනරාල්වරයා තීරණය කර ඇත.

ක්‍රීඩා අධ්‍යක්ෂ ජනරාල් අමල් එදිරිසූරිය පවසා සිටියේ, අදාල නිළවරණයේදී ක්‍රීඩා සමාජ ගණනාවක ජන්ද බලය අත්හිටුවීම සම්බන්ධයෙන් එම ක්‍රීඩා සංගම් විසින් ඉදිරිපත් කරන ලද අභියාචනා පරීක්ෂා කිරීමෙන් අනතුරුව උපදේෂන කමිටුවක් විසින් තිරණයක් ලබාදෙන තෙක් තාවකාලිකව ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි නිලවරණය අත්හිටුවීමට කටයුතු කළ බවයි.

හෙට (27) දිනයෙදී පැවැත්වීමට කටයුතු සූදානම් කර තිබූ මෙම නිලවරණයේදී සභාපති ධූරය සදහා නාම යෝජනා ඉදිරිපත් කර තිබුනේ මේ වන විට ආසියානු රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ තහනමකට ලක්ව සිටින ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ හිටපු සභාපති මොහොමඩ් ඉල්ලියාස් පමණි.  

මෙම නාමයෝජනා ඉදිරිපත් කිරීම සම්බන්ධයෙන් ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ පැරණි ව්‍යව්ස්ථානුකූලව සති දෙකකට පෙර එම නාම යෝජනා ඉදිරිපත් කෙරුණු අතර විරෝධතා ඉදිරිපත් කිරීමට ප්‍රමානවත් කාලයක් නොලැබුණ බවට ක්‍රීඩා සංගම් චෝදනා කරනු ලබයි. 

රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ නව ව්‍යවස්‍ය්ථාවට අනුකූලව නිලවරණය සදහා ඉදිරිපත් වීමේදී ඒ සදහා නාම යෝජනා 30 දිනට පෙර ලබාදිය යුතු වෙනවා. 

එසේම මෙම නිලවරණයෙන් ආසියානු සම්මේලනයේ තහනමක ලක්වසිටින පුද්ගලයෙකු සභාපති ලෙස තෝරා පත්කරගත හොත් ශ්‍රී ලංකාව ජාත්‍යන්තර රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ සාමාජිකත්වයද අහිමි වීමට ඉඩප්‍රස්ථාව ඇති බවට ක්ෂේත්‍රයේ ප්‍රවීණයන් පවසනු ලැබීය.  ඊට අමතරව ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ රග්බි ක්‍රීඩාවේ සංවර්ධනයට ලබාදෙනු ලබන අරමුදල්ද නොලැබී යාමේ අවදානමක් මෙමගින් ඇති විය හැක. 

මෙලෙස එක් පුද්ගලයෙකුගේ අවශ්‍යතාව මත මෙරට සමස්ථ රග්බි ක්‍රීඩාවේ අනාගතය අදුරු අගාධයකට වැටීමේ අවධානමක් ඇතැයි ඔවුන් වැඩිදුරටත් සදහ්න් කරණු ලැබීය.

இலங்கை ரக்பியின் உத்தியோகபூர்வ தெரிவில் தாமதம் ஏற்பட்டமைக்கான காரணம்!!!

எதிர்வரும் 27ஆம் திகதி நடைபெறவிருந்த இலங்கை ரக்பி உத்தியோகபூர்வ தேர்தலை தற்காலிகமாக ஒத்திவைக்க விளையாட்டுப் பணிப்பாளர் நாயகம் தீர்மானித்துள்ளார்.

குறித்த தேர்தலில் பல விளையாட்டுக் கழகங்களின் வாக்குரிமை இடைநிறுத்தப்பட்டமை தொடர்பில் விளையாட்டு சங்கங்கள் சமர்ப்பித்த மேன்முறையீட்டு மனுக்களை பரிசீலித்ததன் பின்னர், இலங்கை ரக்பி உத்தியோகபூர்வ தேர்தலை தற்காலிகமாக இடைநிறுத்தியதாக விளையாட்டுப் பணிப்பாளர் நாயகம் அமல் எதிரிசூரிய தெரிவித்துள்ளார். ஒரு ஆலோசனைக் குழு.

நாளை (27) நடைபெறவிருந்த இந்த உத்தியோகபூர்வ தேர்தலில், தற்போது ஆசிய ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தில் இருந்து தடைசெய்யப்பட்டுள்ள இலங்கை ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தின் முன்னாள் தலைவர் மொஹமட் இல்லியாஸ் மாத்திரமே தலைவர் பதவிக்கு வேட்புமனுக்களை சமர்ப்பித்திருந்தார்.

இந்த வேட்புமனுக்கள் சமர்ப்பிப்பு தொடர்பில், இலங்கை ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தின் பழைய அரசியலமைப்பின் பிரகாரம் இரண்டு வாரங்களுக்கு முன்னர் வேட்புமனுக்கள் சமர்ப்பிக்கப்பட்டதுடன், ஆட்சேபனைகளை சமர்ப்பிப்பதற்கு போதிய கால அவகாசம் கிடைக்கவில்லை என விளையாட்டு சங்கங்கள் குற்றம் சுமத்தியுள்ளன.

ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தின் புதிய அரசியலமைப்பின் படி, நியமனங்கள் 30 நாட்களுக்கு முன்னர் வழங்கப்பட வேண்டும்.

அத்துடன், ஆசிய சம்மேளனத்தில் தடை செய்யப்பட்ட ஒருவர் இத்தேர்தலில் அதிபராக தெரிவு செய்யப்பட்டால், சர்வதேச ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தின் உறுப்புரிமையை இலங்கை இழக்கும் வாய்ப்பு இருப்பதாகவும் அத்துறை சார்ந்த நிபுணர்கள் தெரிவித்துள்ளனர். மேலும், இது இலங்கையில் ரக்பியின் வளர்ச்சிக்கான நிதியைப் பெறாத அபாயத்தை ஏற்படுத்தலாம்.

இதனால், ஒருவரின் தேவையினால் இலங்கையின் ஒட்டுமொத்த ரக்பி விளையாட்டின் எதிர்காலமும் ஆழமான பாதாளத்தில் விழும் அபாயம் உள்ளதை அவர்கள் மேலும் உணர்ந்தனர்.

Pathum Nissanka set to open alongside KL Rahul for Delhi Capitals opener

Published

Delhi Capitals are set to kick off their IPL 2026 campaign with a fresh opening combination, as Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka is likely to partner India star KL Rahul at the top of the order.

The Capitals face Lucknow Super Giants in their opening match today at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground in Lucknow, and all eyes will be on how the new-look batting lineup shapes up. While Rahul’s role as opener is confirmed, the team management has been weighing their options for the second slot, with Prithvi Shaw and Abhishek Porel also in contention.

However, indications suggest that Nissanka has edged ahead in the race, with the franchise keen to utilize his consistency and ability to anchor innings in the powerplay. His calm approach at the crease could complement Rahul’s experience, giving Delhi a balanced start at the top.

The Capitals have also bolstered their middle order with the inclusion of David Miller, who adds firepower alongside fellow South African Tristan Stubbs. The duo is expected to provide the late-innings acceleration that Delhi often lacked in previous seasons.

Despite missing Australian pacer Mitchell Starc for the opening fixture due to injury, Delhi still boast a formidable bowling attack. Captain Axar Patel will lead from the front with his all-round abilities, while the spin department is strengthened by the ever-reliable Kuldeep Yadav.
In the pace department, South Africa’s Lungi Ngidi brings experience and variation, having impressed with his clever change of pace in recent T20 competitions. Meanwhile, left-arm seamer T Natarajan returns fully fit after a lengthy injury layoff, adding further depth to the attack.

Avishka Gunawardena steps down from Sri Lanka Cricket role after reassignment

Published

By

Former Sri Lanka international Avishka Gunawardena has resigned from his position at Sri Lanka Cricket’s High Performance Centre, bringing an abrupt end to his latest stint within the national setup.

The decision comes shortly after a reshuffle in coaching responsibilities, which saw Gunawardena moved from his role as head coach of the Sri Lanka ‘A’ team to take charge of the Under-19 squad. While the transition was part of an internal restructuring, it is understood that the change played a key role in his decision to step away.

Gunawardena had been overseeing the Sri Lanka ‘A’ team in recent tours and development programs, earning praise for his work with emerging players. Several young cricketers are believed to have benefited from his guidance, progressing steadily through the ranks during his tenure.

Despite his contributions at the ‘A’ team level, the shift to the youth setup appears to have prompted his resignation from the High Performance Centre altogether. The move leaves a gap in Sri Lanka’s player development structure at a crucial time.
As of now, Sri Lanka Cricket has not issued an official statement regarding Gunawardena’s departure, nor have they named a successor to fill the vacancy.

The Sri Lanka National Football Team delivered an impressive performance to secure a 3–1 victory against the Chinese Taipei National Football Team on their home ground, marking their second consecutive away win against the same opponents in AFC Qualifiers action.

Coming into the match, Chinese Taipei held a higher FIFA ranking at 174, compared to Sri Lanka’s 194. However, rankings proved irrelevant on the day as Sri Lanka showcased resilience, discipline, and clinical finishing to dominate key moments of the game. This crucial win is expected to provide a significant boost to Sri Lanka’s FIFA standing, with projections suggesting a climb to around the 190 mark.

Sri Lanka opened the scoring in the 18th minute through Rahul Suresh, who capitalized on a well-constructed attacking move to give the visitors an early advantage. Building on that momentum, Niloshan Senthurvasan doubled the lead in the 26th minute, finishing confidently to put Sri Lanka firmly in control before halftime.

The second half saw Sri Lanka extend their lead further when Chinese Taipei defender Christoper Tiao inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 53rd minute, making it 3–0. Despite the setback, the hosts responded quickly, with Yao-Shing Yu finding the net in the 55th minute to pull one back and keep hopes alive.

However, Sri Lanka maintained composure for the remainder of the match, effectively managing the game and limiting further scoring opportunities for the home side. Their defensive organization and midfield control played a crucial role in preserving the lead until the final whistle.
