Commenting on de Silva’s resignation, SLC president Thilanga Sumathipala said, “For someone like Aravinda cricket is a full time occupation. As an administrator of his calibre, he eats, drinks and sleeps cricket. It’s understandable that he needs to prioritise his personal commitments - he has supported the strategic vision of this administration and been vastly instrumental in many of the developments we have made.

“We intend to continue to engage Ari’s expertise in our key cricketing activities on a consultancy basis,” he said.
