Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has decided to launch an inquiry into the controversial behavior of Sri Lanka’s pace bowler Lasith Malinga towards the media yesterday.

“The Executive Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket has directed the Chief Executive Officer of SLC Mr. Ajit Jayasekara to conduct an Inquiry into the two incidents pertaining to Lasith Malinga and the Media Personnel that took place outside SLC headquarters,” the cricket board’s media unit said.

“The CEO has been requested to forward a report on the same to the Executive Committee,” SLC said.

The ‘Slinger’ had lashed out at media persons on two occasions yesterday, following the cricketers’ discussions with the selection committee yesterday and the singing of player contracts at the SLC office in Colombo.
