‘Differences were thrashed out’: Sports Minister says Sri Lanka player conflict is resolved

“They all shook hands after the meeting,” Sports Minister, Harin Fernando, said yesterday after his joint meeting with the senior members of the Sri Lankan Team.  “Dinesh Chandimal was also invited for the meeting. It is because he is still the Test captain.”

“Dimuth Karunratne is a temporary arrangement as captain for the South African tour. We wanted Chandimal to regain his confidence and relax,” the Minister added.

“The differences were thrashed out during this one-and-a-half-hour meeting which took place closed doors,” the Minister said.
