The Sri Lankan cricketer player, Dinesh Chandimal, has rejected two IPL offers from the Delhi Daredevils and the Pune Warriors, following the recent resolution passed in Tamil Nadu banning IPL matches involving Sri Lankan cricket players in Tamil Nadu.
Chandimal had been appointed the skipper for Sri Lanka in the Twenty20.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
