Sri Lanka’s Athletics Selection Committee has tendered its resignation, citing several reasons for the decision.
The committee members handed over their resignation letter to the Secretary of the Ministry of Sports on Monday, July 27.
The specific grievances behind the decision have not been detailed publicly, and neither the Ministry of Sports nor the national athletics body has yet announced how selections will be handled in the interim or when a replacement panel will be named.
The departure leaves national athletics without a functioning selection panel at a point when squad decisions for forthcoming international assignments would normally be under way. Selection committees are responsible for picking national squads and individual entries for regional and global meets, and a vacancy at that level typically stalls team announcements until the ministry appoints successors.
LankaNewz will report further details as they are confirmed.
