T20 World Cup 2024: Sri Lanka categorically denies alcohol party in team hotel during T20 World Cup, read big news
Sri Lanka was eliminated from the group stage in the T20 World Cup. Srilanka Cricket (Pic Source-Twitter) The Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) has categorically denied allegations that players and officials were seen drinking alcohol at a hotel party ahead of the team’s match against South Africa during the T20 World Cup 2024. Let us tell you that these allegations were first published in the newspaper on July 7 and after that this news spread like wildfire on social media. Now the Sri Lankan Cricket Board has called these allegations completely false and said that this is going to harm the reputation of their team and management. It is worth noting that the performance of the former champion Sri Lanka cricket team in the recently concluded ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 was unforgettable. Sri Lanka was able to register only 1 win in the entire tournament, that too against the Netherlands. At the same time, the team finished its group at the third place after South Africa and Bangladesh. So now some media reports have claimed that five main players of the team which includes three top order batsmen, an experienced fast bowler and a world class player were involved in a liquor party when the team’s crucial match was about to be played against South Africa. Sri Lanka Cricket Board issued statement On the other hand, the Sri Lankan Cricket Board has reacted immediately after these media reports surfaced. Regarding this, SLC wrote through a post from its official X account – The news reports are completely false, fabricated and baseless. SLC announced emphasizing that such false reporting unfairly maligns the image of Sri Lanka Cricket and its officials and its players. See this post of Sri Lanka Cricket Team SLC categorically and strongly refutes the contents of the article and confirms that no such incidents, as described, have occurred. Therefore, SLC states univocally that the news report is entirely false, fabricated, and baseless. READ: #SLC #lka, — Sri Lanka Cricket 🇱🇰 (@OfficialSLC) July 9, 2024

Sri Lanka was eliminated from the T20 World Cup in the group stage itself Chris Silverwood (Photo Source: Twitter) After the poor performance of the Sri Lanka cricket team in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the team’s head coach Chris Silverwood has resigned from the post. Earlier, Sri Lanka’s performance in the World Cup 2023 was not very good, after which the former coach of the England cricket team has taken this big decision. It is worth noting that Silverwood’s coaching career with the Sri Lankan cricket team started in a great way. Under the coaching of Silverwood, the team won the Asia Cup 2022 and also qualified for the 50-over Cricket World Cup. Apart from this, Sri Lanka defeated Australia in the T20 series and Bangladesh in the Test series under the coaching of Silverwood. But now he has relieved himself of this responsibility in the Sri Lankan cricket team citing personal reasons. A big statement from Chris Silverwood came out So after leaving the post of head coach of the Sri Lankan cricket team, Chris Silverwood said according to a statement issued by the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC)- Being an international coach means being away from your family for long periods of time. After long conversations with my family and with a heavy heart, I feel it is time to return home and spend some quality time together. I would like to thank the players, coaches, backroom staff and management of SLC for their support during my time in Sri Lanka. None of the success would have been possible without your support. It has been a true honour to be a part of Sri Lanka Cricket and I will take many fond memories with me. Also, let us tell you that after the poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, Mahela Jayawardene also decided to leave the post of bowling consultant in the team. So now Chris Silverwood being relieved of his role is not a good sign for Sri Lanka cricket.

T20 World Cup 2024: The match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will be very exciting: Aakash Chopra
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are in Group C along with South Africa, Nepal and Netherlands. SL vs BAN (Photo Source: Asian Cricket Council Official Website) Former Indian player Aakash Chopra believes that Sri Lanka can win the match against Bangladesh in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. According to Aakash Chopra, Sri Lanka is a strong contender to win this match. This match will be played in Dallas on 8 June. Let us tell you, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are in Group C along with South Africa, Nepal and Netherlands. In their first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Sri Lanka had to face defeat against South Africa by six wickets. Sri Lanka’s performance was very poor against South Africa. At the same time, this is the first match of the Bangladesh team in this tournament season. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘The match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will be very exciting and it will be played in Dallas. Sri Lanka had to face defeat in their first match. They played their first match on this pitch. This is their first match for Bangladesh. They had performed very disappointingly in the warm-up match against India. I think Sri Lanka has a slight edge in this match. This battle is also similar to India-Pakistan and England Australia match. You get the Naagin dance in this match. So it will be really good to watch this match. It is very important for Sri Lanka to bat well: Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said, ‘I think the Dallas pitch is very good. This pitch is not as bad as it is being criticized. Sri Lanka’s bowling is very good. All their bowlers will definitely want to leave their mark in the upcoming match. However, Sri Lanka’s batsmen will have to bat well. Talking about Bangladesh, they will also have to bat well because Sri Lanka’s bowlers are in great form at the moment. This is a battle of batting versus batting. Whichever team bats better will win the match. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
