Thanks SW. I tried to find it in the google maps even couldn't locate it. Didn't have much time
LMAOOOO. So you picked up a phone, dialed to a past player cause you got into an exchange on the internet ? lol. So petty PJ.
You were correct CC, because the pool is not exactly right next to the stadium like the nets are, you can easily get confused thinking its belongs to a neighboring property.

SW can't understand that I can call a few past players at any time. I wanted to confirm the comment made by CC about the swimming pool was correct. I told CC if proof was provided, I would believe him. That is to be fair to him.
The pool is within the boundaries of the stadium complex, there is no way you can think it belongs to a neighboring property. There is another swimming pool about 4km away from the stadium at Digana Sports Complex.

Sports Minister Harin Fernando today rescinded the gazette issued by former minister Roshan Ranasinghe that appointed an interim committee for Sri Lanka Cricket, headed by Arjuna Ranatunga, and attempted to dissolve the incumbent administration of SLC.
“Today, I signed a gazette to revoke the decision appointing an interim committee for Sri Lanka Cricket, aiming to lift our ICC suspension. I've also written to the ICC, seeking their observations on the Auditor General's report on SLC, and to the AG dept for future actions,” Minister Fernando wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The ICC suspension was imposed on SLC on allegations of political interference in the governing of the sport in the country, and came in the same week Ranasinghe appointed the seven-member interim committee, and Parliament passed a resolution calling on the SLC administration to resign.
Sri Lanka lost the hosting rights for the Under 19 Cricket World Cup, scheduled for January next year, as a result of the suspension, though it had no impact on its eligibility to participate in international cricket.
In the aftermath of the suspension, SLC President Shammi Silva told journalists that the ICC, at its November 21 Board Meeting, had informed him that the interim committee, headed by Ranatunga, would need to be revoked in order for Sri Lanka to have its full membership with the sport’s world governing body restored.

Sending the AG's report to ICC is not expected to make any difference. Usually they don't care about things like that. The suspension will be lifted soon I guess.
