Gunasekera appointed secretary and Mirando treasurer

Sports Minister Johnston Fernando has appointed Kushil Gunasekera as secretary and Typhon Mirando as treasurer of the newly appointed 10-member interim committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL), according to the Daily News.

However, although the committee apparently took over from the Vijaya Malalsekera led interim committee, which had resigned after a year in office, on April 1, no official communication has yet been released from either the Ministry of Sports or the BCCSL confirming their appointment.

The new committee has reportedly been appointed for a period of one year and will be chaired by Hemaka Amarasuriya. It includes four members from the previous committee - Nalin Ladduwahetty, Michael Tissera, Sidath Wettimuny and Kushil Gunasekera - and five new members: Mohan de Silva, Lawrance Amarasena, Trevor Rajaratnam and former Sri Lanka Test batsman Roshan Mahanama.
