By AFP News July 06, 2021 • 13:52 PM View: 1826

Sri Lanka's battered and unruly cricket team return home Tuesday from another series defeat to face calls for a boycott by influential former players and fans fed up with their antics.

"We must stop watching matches even on TV," fumed former great Arjuna Ranatunga, who led Sri Lanka to win the World Cup in 1996 and said the humiliating tour of England was the culmination of years of "mismanagement, corruption and indiscipline".
