Pramodya Wickramasinghe, the Chief Selector of Sri Lanka's Cricket Selection Committee, has unveiled a series of alleged conspiracies spanning the past two and a half years that he claims have contributed to the decline of Sri Lanka Cricket. In a statement issued, Wickramasinghe pointed to the involvement of individuals seeking power within Sri Lanka Cricket, competitive betting brokers, and those striving to secure a place in the national team as the architects behind these conspiracies.

According to Wickramasinghe, social media has become a pivotal platform for orchestrating and advancing these conspiracy campaigns, ultimately resulting in the downfall of Sri Lanka Cricket. He highlighted the detrimental impact of these alleged schemes on the sport's integrity and overall performance.

The Chief Selector singled out the current minister's actions, asserting that they had tarnished public confidence in the selections committee. Following Sri Lanka's recent defeat to India, attempts were reportedly made to create divisions among national players. Wickramasinghe further disclosed that when a fitness test was introduced, shadowy figures actively worked to undermine it, even culminating in a protest staged outside the Sri Lanka Cricket premises.

Wickramasinghe's revelations shed light on the challenges faced by the selections committee and the sport at large, as internal and external influences appear to be eroding the integrity of Sri Lanka Cricket. The alleged involvement of those seeking power and competitive betting brokers raises concerns about the ethical underpinnings of the cricketing landscape.
