Former Sri Lanka Cricket captain Mahela Jayawardena has questioned the decision to construct another international cricket stadium in Sri Lanka.
Jayawardena tweeted questioning if Sri Lanka needs another stadium when existing stadiums are not fully utilised.
“We don’t even play enough international cricket or domestic first class cricket in the existing stadiums we have … Do we need another one?” Jayawardena tweeted.
Earlier today the Government announced that Sri Lanka’s biggest cricket stadium is to be constructed in Homagama with 40,000 seating capacity and Day/Night cricket facilities.
