COLOMBO: The Sri Lankan players have called for an immediate inquiry into the match-fixing allegations made by former player
Pramodaya Wickremesinghe
against the current national team.
"The cricketers in a petition signed by all including both captain
Dines Chandimal
and
Upul Tharanga to
Sri Lanka
Cricket (SLC) have drawn attention to what they say was shockingly disparaging and hurtful statements by
Wickremesinghe
to a private television channel that tend to give the general public a suspicious impression about them," a
SLC
release said.
Wickremesinghe, a member of the 1996 World Cup winning team and also a former selector, had said that certain members of the Sri Lankan team had fixed games for money.
The players, who signed the petition, have challenged Wickremesinghe to prove his allegations.
