Parliament, Dec. 13 (Daily Mirror) – The International Cricket Council (ICC) does not consider what is said in Parliament on Sri Lanka’s cricket as they have a certain way of doing things, Minister of Sports Harin Fernando told Parliament today.

Minister Fernando was responding to a question raised by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, and said there is no point in talking of Sri Lanka’s cricket in Parliament as the ICC does not take into consideration what is debated. 

“The ICC works in a different way. Therefore, there is no point in shouting on cricket in the House. Some, including the Leader of the Opposition do not understand this fact,” the Minister said.

He was referring to a remark made by MP Premadasa on cricket. 

We have approved a resolution to sack the officer bearers of SLC. One wonders what is happening regarding the resolution approved by Parliament,” Premadasa said.

We have handed over the task of filing legal action against those who are corrupt in SLC to the Attorney General. We will also change the sports law based on the recommendations of the Chithrasiri report,” Minister Fernando said in response to the Leader of the Opposition.
