The cricket duo, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene apologised on Monday after the concert by Enrique Igleasias, which was organised by their company Live Events, drew condemnation from Sri Lanka's president after women threw their underwear at the singer.
"Although we know an apology or refund cannot fully satiate your disappointment, we wish to reiterate that we remain fully committed to all of you and our country," the pair, who are currently in Australia, were quoted as saying.
"A full and thorough internal inquiry is ongoing into all areas of concern," they added, without responding directly to the president's remarks.
On Sunday, President Maithripala Sirisena called for the organisers of an Enrique Iglesias concert to be “whipped with toxic stingray tails”, calling the behaviour of concert goers “uncivilised”.
