Bhanuka Rajapaksa sends legal notice to actress Harshi Rasanga over gold chain dispute

Published

on

By

Sri Lanka cricketer Bhanuka Rajapaksa has issued a Letter of Demand (LOD) to actress Harshi Rasanga, accusing her of making false and misleading statements on social media following recent court proceedings.

According to Rajapaksa’s legal representatives, the actress had informed court that the gold chain at the center of the dispute had been pawned. However, they claim she later contradicted this statement publicly, prompting the cricketer to initiate legal action.

The controversy revolves around a gold chain valued at over Rs. 900,000. Rajapaksa alleges that the chain had been borrowed by Rasanga and pawned without his knowledge or consent.
Rasanga was arrested by the Sri Lanka Police’s Thalangama division and later produced before the Kaduwela Magistrate’s Court, where she was granted bail on two sureties of Rs. 500,000 each.

During the court hearing, the defence stated that the chain had indeed been pawned and indicated that steps could be taken to redeem and return it. However, speaking to the media afterward, Rasanga claimed that the chain had been given to her as a gift during a personal relationship.

The court has directed Thalangama Police to take custody of the gold chain and present it at the next hearing, which is scheduled for April 22.

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

Published

By

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.
