In a surprising turn of events, Sri Lankan Member of Parliament Wimal Weerawansa has put forward a series of conspiracy theories regarding the Sri Lankan national cricket team's performance in the recent World Cup. Weerawansa's statements in Parliament have stirred speculation about the reasons behind certain decisions made during the tournament.

Weerawansa's assertions are centered around Sri Lanka's match against India in the World Cup, during which Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bowl first. According to Weerawansa, it was former cricketing legend Mahela Jayawardena who advised the Sri Lankan captain to make this decision. He further claimed that even the Indian captain appeared shocked by the choice to bowl first, as they were eager to bat on the pitch. Weerawansa went on to suggest that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is influenced by India and implied that the Sri Lankan selection committee is appointed by Indian authorities.

The parliamentarian also pointed to the absence of opening ceremonies in the tournament, with the exception of the India vs. Pakistan match, which had an elaborate ceremony. Weerawansa's claims insinuate that there may be more than meets the eye in the world of cricket, and he called for a deeper investigation into Mahela Jayawardena's advice to Sri Lankan captain Kusal Mendis.

Weerawansa's statements have sparked intrigue and debate within and outside the cricketing community. While some dismiss the claims as baseless conspiracy theories, others are calling for transparency and accountability in cricketing decisions and practices.
