Without providing any evidence Former Sports Minister claimed that 2011 world cup final was fixed.
“I would not involve the cricketers in this. However, certain groups were definitely involved in fixing the game”, said Mahindananda Aluthgamage who was the Sports Minister at the time Sri Lanka played the 2011 World Cup.
This is shocking as it involves legends of the game in @KumarSanga2 ,@MahelaJay , Dilshan, Murali, etc who played in that game. Authorities should investigate this claim for the sake of the reputation of these greats.The former Minster should be told to back his claims with proof https://t.co/uu164rxZo5
