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.

Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka has received a call-up to join the Gujarat Titans in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, replacing the injured Glenn Phillips.

The Gujarat Titans, captained by Shubman Gill, have signed Shanaka for INR 7.5 million (over LKR 25 million).

Shanaka has played only one season of the IPL so far, when he got three games for GT, scored only 26 runs and didn’t get to bowl at all two seasons ago.

Phillips had picked up a groin injury while fielding against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Hyderabad just over ten days ago, and was later ruled out of the tournament to head back home to New Zealand.
