Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), in a statement yesterday, denied allegations leveled by certain media reports, which cited that some of the players in the Sri Lanka National team, who played in the T20I series against South Africa, did not fully commit themselves or deliberately underperformed on the field.

“Sri Lanka Cricket has not received such a complaint from the ‘Team Management’ against any player of the National squad,” the statement said.

SLC said that it was the same group of players who played in the ODI series which Sri Lanka won against South Africa.

It said Sri Lanka not only won the ODI series vs South Africa 2 – 1, but also gained crucial points and climbed up in the rankings of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League.

“It is understood and acknowledged by the fans that the Sri Lanka National Team, since the recent past, is progressing forward by winning important contests and heading in the right direction,” SLC said.
