Aravinda de Silva denies…
With reference to the article published in the Sunday Times of 08th May 2005 titled "Interim committee don pads for their innings", by Marlon Fernandopulle, I would be grateful if the following clarification could be carried as the article refers to me with regard to my position in the ICC -Cricket Committee which are factually incorrect.

I have not spoken or stated to any member of the Interim Committee, the media or any other person that I have declined to serve in the ICC Cricket Commiittee (ICC-CC) for which I was nominated by Sri Lanka Cricket and continue to serve even today.

In fact, the ICC has been continuously communicating with me with regard to the ICC-CC meeting on the 16th of May in Dubai and has sent me all the discussion topics, related documents and all travel arrangements have been finalized.

Sports Editor adds: Since then, former Sri Lanka skipper Arjuna Ranatunge has replaced Aravinda de Silva at the ICC - Cricket Committee and is scheduled to leave the island for Dubai this afternoon.
