I wrote the match fixing script against Middle Order Batsman Mahela & Thilan for Vimasumma as I was being pressurized by Namal Baby and MP S Jayasuriya - says Mahinda

Mahinda Abeysundera, editor of dinamina government newspaper,  had told several members from the newspaper's editorial board that he had written the script against senior Sri Lankan cricket player Mahela Jayawardena & Thilan Samaraweera for the Vimasuma programme on ITN as it was a firm requests made by the Percy Mahinda's eldest son (Namal Baby) and former captain of the Sri Lanka cricket team, MP Sanath Jayasuriya. Abeysundera had made this comment in response to a statement made by several members from the Dinamina editorial that the Vimasuma programme telecast on ITN had caused much psychological distress to the Sri Lankan players.


Members of the Sri Lanka cricket team believe that the President, who releases statements for any issue, and Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage have remained silent about the matter without stating anything due to the involvement of certain government politicians in the matter as well as his son.


It is learnt that Jayasuriya is angry with the Sri Lanka cricket team captain Kumar Sangakkara, vice captain Jayawardena and selector Aravinda de Silva for not including him in the World Cup cricket team.


Sangakkara and Jayawardena did not participate in the press conference held after the Kenya-Sri Lanka match and cricketer Lasith Malinga and several team officials participated in it. When a journalist posed a question about the telecast on ITN, the team official said that Sri Lanka Cricket was planning on taking legal action against the channel.

Did MP Sanath Jayasuriya requested Mahinda Abeysundara to attack Mahela ?

It is revealed that Former dashing opening batsman, now a Percy Mahinda's UPFA  MP from Matara, Sanath Jayasuriya is behind the infamous mudsligging Vimasuma ITN programme which accused former captain now vice captain of the Sri Lanka National Cricket team Mahela Jayawardene of match fixing. We too had a dought earlier was this planned by him, but according to another web source, this has being prooved.


Mahela has aleady decided to take legal action against the Governemnt Channel ITN &  Mahinda Abesundara after it implied that Mahela and Thilan Samaraweera deliberately got out in the last Pakistan match where we lost by 11 runs.


It is further revealed that, Jayasuriya was very much upset over the non selection to the World Cup team after even selecting him to final 30. As a UPFA MP, he has the power to force any pro goverment journalist to get his work done. 


MP Sanath Jayasuriya had promised mud sligging Mahinda Abeysundara a case of expensive liquor as well as other financial support had the campaign against the Sri Lanka team succeeded and team crashed out of the World Cup at the group stage.


This is a sad thing as one time great player, when get politicized, do not even hesitate to attack their own fellow cricketer...
