Minister of Youth and Sports Namal Rajapaksa

Minister of Youth and Sports Namal Rajapaksa has requested Sri Lanka cricketer Bhanuka Rajapaksa to reconsider his decision to retire from international cricket.

Issuing a statement, the Minister stated that as a young player who has potential to continue to play cricket for the country it is important for Bhanuka to face one’s challenges rather than to reach hasty decisions.

The Minister said players had the right to leave the sport due to personal reasons, but added that that he would be able to intervene if the decision to resign was reached as a result of an issue with the administration or if the player had been faced with any injustice.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa tendered his resignation to Sri Lanka Cricket citing family obligations. He represented Sri Lanka in five ODIs and 18 T20Is.
