In response to news of a protest being organized in front of the Sri Lanka Cricket headquarters at Maitland Place in Colombo, authorities have increased security measures, including the deployment of water cannons.

The protest comes in the wake of Sri Lanka's disappointing performance in the ongoing World Cup in India, and the demonstrators are demanding the resignation of cricketing authorities.

The protestors have claimed on social media that the sport can only be revived in Sri Lanka when stern action is taken against “corrupt administrators.”

The lackluster performance of the Sri Lankan cricket team in the World Cup has sparked public outrage and frustration, leading to calls for accountability within the nation's cricket management. The protest, which has been organized near the Cricket HQ, is a manifestation of this discontent.
