Earlier, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa called Parliament to replace COPE Chairman Prof Ranjith Bandara from the position due to a conflict of interests with Sri Lanka Cricket.
Mr Premadasa presenting documents claimed that he was a consultant for SLC for a project known as Kandy Cricket Campus in addition to a Consultancy firm of Prof Bandara providing its services to the SLC.
