Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has lodged a complaint on Monday (25) with Cricket Australia (CA) over Muttiah Muralitharan's involvement with the visiting team as a spin bowing consultant.
SLC president Thilanga Sumathipala had expressed his disappointment to CA while accusing Muralitharan of being rude to Sri Lanka team manager Charith Senanayake, over an issue related to practice pitches used by the Australians.
"His (Muralitharan's) behaviour is unacceptable. We have brought this to the notice of the Australian team management," Sumathipala had told reporters.
Sumathipala went on to say that Muralitharan had harassed the ground staff at the Pallekele Stadium on Saturday (23) into allowing the Australians to practise, which Muralitharan totally denies.
A Sri Lanka Air Force Bell 212 helicopter belonging to the No. 72 squadron has crashed into the Madhuru Oya reservoir this morning, Air FOrce Media Spokesman Eranda Geeganage said.
Update: Five of the twelve passengers on board the bell 212 aircraft that crashed into the Maduru Oya today, have succumbed to their injuries, the SLAF said.
