Colombo: Described as the third most corrupt institution in the country, Sri Lanka Cricket came in for some criticism from former captain and Parliamentarian Arjuna Ranatunga, who claimed the money from TV rights deal has "gone into pockets of some individuals."
"As I stated earlier, the main form of corruption takes place through TV rights deals. This has happened to such an extent that the cricket institution has not received a proper sum of money but the money has gone into the pockets of various individuals," said Ranatunga.
"The money that comes from TV rights deals has gone into the pockets of some individuals," he alleged in Parliament yesterday.
The former captain, who led Sri Lanka to its only World Cup triumph in 1996, is a member of Parliament representing the detained former Army Chief Sarath Fonseka-led Democratic National Alliance.
