Sri Lanka a ‘laughing stock’: Captain’s wife in spat with player

Sri Lankan cricket has lurched further into crisis after a social media spat involving the wife of one-day captain Lasith Malinga led to a player labelling the team as a “laughing stock”. All-rounder Thisara Perera wrote a letter to the Sri Lanka Cricket chief raising questions over Sri Lanka’s leadership after allegations by Lasith Malinga’s wife, Tanya Perera, that he had asked the nation’s sports minister to ensure his selection for the side.
