Cricketer turned politician Arjuna Ranatunga was once remembered in India as the most influential man in Sri Lankan cricket.
And while he was always upfront when it came to being critical of opposition teams and players, it was always with some logic and subtlety.
Arjuna, the former Lankan captain has become extremely outspoken, making several sweeping statements.
While talking on what ails cricket in his country at the moment, Ranatunga, in an interview to media, said, “I think the worst part is, to tell you honestly, our administration is very poor.
Cricket is run by gamblers and cricket has become a gambling game. So you can’t blame the players.”
He further added, “I don’t agree with some of the things happening today, but unfortunately we don’t have a single person who has played international cricket in the cricket board.
