The Sri Lanka Cricket Interim Committee, under D. S. de Silva, on Saturday (25) resolved to sack one of its employees, the controversial B. H. Perera aka ‘Podi Sir’ with immediate effect.
After a stormy media conference held last March, which preceded an alleged assault incident, Perera had been temporarily dismissed from his services pending inquiry. It was later alleged that Perera had been assaulted by one of the interim committee members, Pramodaya Wickramasinghe.
Perera barged in to the above media conference, in fact the first such conference by the present interim administration, and forcibly attempted to address the media but was ordered out by the SLC conference room.
