Dharmadasa wasn’t available for comments, but one of his confidants said that the cricket chief delayed his resignation only to see off former captain Mahela Jayawardene’s farewell Test, currently underway at SSC.
The Island also learns that several other Executive Committee members of SLC could resign along with the Chairman of SLC. One powerful Ex-Co member who had remained neutral too had thrown in the towel after Dharmadasa demanded the removal of the Secretary.
Another source told The Island that the SLC chief had told Minister of Sports Mahindananda Aluthgamage during a recent meeting that the game has no future if the ‘vindictive’ Ranatunga remained in his post.
Nishantha Ranatunga has been openly criticized by former captains Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara while some SLC employees have blamed him for using abusive language towards them.
