Sri Lanka Cricket is in the middle of one of the lowest points with a corruption scandal that shakes the country. But it is getting worse.
The controversy seems controversial, with the Sri Lankan ODI side in disarray after ODI skipper Lasith Malinga’s wife crushed a bomb that ripped the team apart.
Malanya’s wife, Tanya, has allegedly asked the rounder Thisara Perera for help from the Sri Lankan sports minister to secure his place on the ODI side earlier this month.

The leadership and seniors of the team must set an example, “he wrote.
