The candidates contesting for the top positions in the country’s cricket governing body for the two years from 2019 to 2021 officially handed in their nominations today.

“I decided not to contest the Sri Lanka Cricket election and to fulfill the responsibility of my political stream for the country,” Sumathipala said.
