NEW DELHI: Sri Lanka's abysmal World Cup campaign has triggered an outpouring of anger following their crushing 302-run defeat at the hands of host nation India. This embarrassing loss, where Sri Lanka was dismissed for a mere 55 while chasing a formidable target of 358 in Mumbai, marked the fourth-lowest total in World Cup history.
In the wake of this humiliating performance, Sri Lanka's sports minister, Roshan Fernando, has called for the resignation of the country's cricket board. Fernando, who has been at odds with the board for some time and had previously accused it of being "traitorous and corrupt," escalated the situation by demanding that officials and selectors step down.
