Mahela to take legal action against ITN & Mud Sligging Mahinda Abesundara

Mahela Jayawardene, former captain who lead Sri Lanka to the final in 2007 world cup now  Vice- Captain of Sri Lanka team had taken a firm decesion to take legal action against Independent Television Network (ITN) for telecasting a programme that accused he had been involved in fixing the match played with Pakistan for money where he got out to Akthar for a very low score.


In the ‘Vimasuma’ programme telecasted after the news broadcast of the ITN, it accused former captain Mahela Jayawardene and middle order batsman Tilan Samaraweera were involved in match fixing and gave away the match for financial gains. Speaking to BBC Mahela has said he had instructed his lawyers to take measures to take legal action against the ITN for telecasting the programme as well as against mud sligging Mahinda Abesundara.


Most of the viewers of our site as well as many other online portal viewers were so sad to here when such a thing was done by a money crazy Mahinda Abesundara. Some suggest that he might have being forced to do such a thing by a very senior player who was in the last 30 but axed from last 15 for the World Cup 2011.
