Former Sri Lanka cricketer and former ICC match referee, Roshan Mahanama has vehemently refuted the story that is circulating in the social media which states of him entering politics in the upcoming elections.
Following is the official statement issued by Mr. Mahanama.
"To my surprise, I have been informed that a false news item is circulating stating that I will be contesting in the upcoming elections. Please note that I have no intention of contesting any election and I am very disappointed that the social media is publishing incorrect information."
"I have served my country to the best of my capacity as a cricketer and I want to be very clear that I will never get myself involved in any kind of political activity. I will always support valid charities as a responsible citizen, as I feel that one should not try to make a difference in someone’s life by using political means. I also wish to emphasize that my reputation matters and I have certain principles and values in life that I treasure."
"Therefore, I am making a polite request to all social media users not to mislead the public and harm my reputation."
