NSSC rejects names sent by SLC for cricket selection committee including current selectors

The National Sports Selection Committee has written to Sri Lanka’s Sports Ministry informing that it has rejected the names proposed by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) for National Cricket Selectors.

In a letter to the ministry, the National Sports Selection Committee has pointed out that there are more suitable candidates for the posts.

According to Sports Ministry sources, Sri Lanka Cricket had nominated the name of current cricket selectors headed by Pramodya Wickremesinghe and several other former cricketers.

The National Sports Selection Committee has said that they believe the selection of a professionally qualified panel of selectors is a need of the hour to bring stability back into Sri Lanka Cricket.

Thereby, the National Sports Selection Committee has requested the Sports Ministry’s approval to call for fresh nominations to select suitable candidates.
