Matale High Court Issues Arrest Warrant for SLC Selection Committee Chairman Upul Tharanga

The Matale High Court has issued an arrest warrant today (October 8) against Upul Tharanga, the Chairman of the Selection Committee at Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and former Sri Lankan cricketer.

The warrant was issued due to Tharanga’s failure to appear in court in connection with a match-fixing case related to the 2024 Legends Cricket Tournament.

Ironically, the case was initiated by Tharanga himself. He reportedly left the country for cricket-related purposes without informing the court of his departure.
