But that led to protests by the Youth Alliance of the Samagi Jana Bala wegaya (SJB), in front of the sports ministry. as per the reports, the protest was held against the continuous harassment of Sangakkara.
SJB’s Sajith Premadasa also tweeted in support of the former Sri Lanka skipper.
Aluthgamage had earlier claimed that the final at Wankhede Stadium was fixed as they could’ve won the match ea sily. “The 2011 Cricket World Cup final was fixed. I stand by what I say. It took place when I was the minister of sports,” Aluthgamage had said last month.

The game against India in 2011, the game we could have won, was fixed.“I say this with a responsibility and I can come forward for a debate. The people are concerned about it. I would not involve the cricketers in this.“However, certain groups were definitely invo lved in fixing the game,” he added.
