The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly in discussion with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) for a possible One-day International series ahead of the World Cup.

Pakistan media outlets reported that the PCB and Sri Lanka Cricket are working on the potential window for ODI matches ahead of the ICC World Cup.

While Pakistan is scheduled to tour Sri Lanka in July for a two-Test, which is part of the ICC World Test Championship, there is the possibility that both boards could replace the Test matches with ODIs.

The 13th of the One-Day International World Cup will be worked-off from the 5th of October to the 19th of November in India.

Three police teams have been deployed to arrest Hayeshika Fernando, a popular private tutor known as “Teacher Amma,” over allegedly kicking a young man in the lower abdomen and groin.

According to police sources, the suspect is in hiding with her daughter and has switched off her phone.

Investigations have revealed that the assault was in retaliation over a Facebook post by the victim’s sister about Hayeshika. She, along with her husband and her institute’s manager, had allegedly assaulted the youth.

Katana police have already arrested two said to be Hayeshika’s husband and the institute’s manager.  They were produced before the Negombo Magistrate’s Court and remanded until May 14.

The assaulted youth has been admitted to the Negombo hospital for treatment.

Reportedly, Hayeshika had instructed the youth to train a female employee in computer use. During the session, he allegedly behaved inappropriately, prompting Hayeshika’s husband, and the institute manager to accompany the female employee to file a complaint with the Katana Police.

Following statements from both parties, it was revealed that Hayeshika, her husband, and the manager had physically assaulted the youth.

Although her husband and the manager were taken into custody, Hayeshika Fernando fled with her daughter when police attempted to arrest her at her residence.

Under the instructions of Senior DIG Sanjeewa Dharmaratne and the supervision of SSP Ashoka Dharmasena, Chief Inspector Wasantha Sudasinghe and other officers from Katana Police are conducting further investigations.
