Chief Selector Pramodaya Wickramasinghe attributed Sri Lanka's premature exit from the ODI World Cup to an alleged external conspiracy. The team's return following a defeat against New Zealand in Bengaluru prompted Wickramasinghe to promise a revelation in two days. Expressing sadness and taking responsibility, he hinted at undisclosed factors affecting performance. Injuries, captaincy changes, and a humiliating loss to India contributed to Sri Lanka's worst World Cup display since 1992, leading to administrative turmoil and calls for Sri Lanka Cricket's management resignation.
