Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country. We can do something about it. Players on tour cannot be distracted

This is the sort of nonsense which fuels this whole religious nutcase situation

Isn't this the kind of crap we should try to avoid?
You were suggesting dropping players because they follow a different faith...

As much as I personally don't like conversions, it's the choice of the individual. It's OK as long as players, administrators and other stake holders are not pressured by undue influence.

The best SLC can do is ensure that people who come to recruit players to born again or whatever other cult don't have access to players' dressing rooms/hotel rooms during cricket series. They can only control something like that citing it could distract players from focusing on the game. It's a personal choice and a cricket board doesn't have legal grounds to control it.

Sorry. My post didn't come across well. Not exactly what I was trying to do. I am not a religious nut. I don't like these Evangelical pastors. For me it's PERSONAL. It affected me mentally. Have one of them come see you. You will know exactly what I mean.

OK. Won't make a difference to me personally, because I don't believe in what people call "religion". I don't follow anything/anyone of that sort.

Come to think of it, actually I might have a telling effect on the person trying to convert me, because he will end up seeing the inside of an ambulance.

I have not lived in SL since I was 6. Do Buddhist priests go knocking on every door or knock on new doors of people moving into your village or town? Evangelical pastors do. SW will likely confirm Hindu priests do not do that. I can also verify that Catholic priests do not do that because my step family is Catholic. Evangelical pastors are exactly that. They do not leave you alone. They come for you
