Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, we receive many such complaints from various regions, particularly about denying opportunities in cricket. Solutions are complex, but we must address them as our Ministry’s responsibility is to identify suitable athletes, create opportunities and advance them. We intervene where necessary. If we receive written information or the relevant parties inform us, we will look into it and provide relief and fairness where possible.
