Sri Lanka Cricket President Shammi Silva had lodged a complaint with the Cinnamon Gardens Police last evening (21) against Kurunegala District SJB MP Nalin Bandara.

Mr. Silva has told the media that MP Bandara had come to the Colombo Cricket Club (CCC) on the day before yesterday (20) along with some other people in search of him. However, Mr. Silva was not present at the CCC.

Mr. Silva’s critical response to a question raised by a journalist regarding a statement made by MP Bandara over the Asia Cup at a news briefing held at Sri Lanka Cricket is likely to be the reason for this visit, he said.
