Questions of Nuski’s visit to ICC meeting
View(s):Is the ICC working on Sri Lanka’s corruption probe? According informed sources, it is so and that is why SLC President Thilanga Sumathipala skipped attending the last ICC meeting held in New Zealand.
The Sunday Times learns Sri Lanka was represented at the meeting by SLC CEO Ashley de Silva and former treasurer Nuski Mohammed who is not even an SLC executive committee member.
When Mohammed was asked as to why he attended the meeting instead of Sumathipala, he said “I was given the ticket to go there and I did what I was asked to do.”
When asked if there were questions asked about match fixing during the ICC meeting, Mohammed said, “There was nothing of that nature”, and declined to elaborate further.
When we asked Sports Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera if he had sanctioned Mohammed’s name to travel to the ICC meeting, he said, “Generally one could attend an ICC meeting if he is named by the SLC President, but, however I cannot remember if I had sanctioned the name of Nuski Mohammed. I sign more than 300-400 files a day and I cannot remember if I had signed it.”
