Sports Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera on Friday (16) slammed country’s national cricketers as 'overweight' and said the team should be sent for military training to improve their fitness.
“It was very ugly to see your national cricketers with pot bellies,” Minister said.
“There’s only few with the necessary physique in the team. Look at the Bangladesh team; they are in perfect physical shape as they are being properly trained. But our players have been pampered like babies. I think we should send them to a military camp and train them for six months. Otherwise it’s not going to work.
Minister made these comments at a function held at the Ministry of Sports to award diplomas to 600 individuals who had completed the Sports Science Diploma.
