Sports and International Representation
Sri Lanka's cricket hosting rights for the Women's Champions Trophy have been lost, with officials addressing the loss and responsibility questions. The situation reflects challenges in national sports administration and international commitments.
"We're not responsible, and also we're not saying who is" is the most diplomatic way to say "it was definitely us" while maintaining plausible deniability—basically the sports equivalent of leaving a mess and just closing the door real quiet.
“We are not the ones who should be held responsible for this. We do not need to say who should be held responsible.” Chairman of the Cricket Transformation Committee Eran Wickramaratne provides clarification on Sri Lanka losing hosting rights for the Women’s Champions Trophy. https://t.co/HA6dj2ypU7
