#GoHomeShammi
Twelve years of decline. Twelve years of excuses. Twelve years of watching a proud cricketing nation fall into embarrassment. The current state of Sri Lankan cricket is not just a short-term slump; it is a systemic crisis that requires immediate action.
Under the leadership of Shammi Silva and the cricket administration, Sri Lankan cricket has witnessed a severe decline in performance standards. Once a fearless, disciplined, world-beating side, the team now struggles for consistency, identity, and belief. This is not merely about defeats on the scoreboard; it reflects a broken structure and deteriorating morale behind the scenes.
For over a decade, accountability has weakened, direction has been lost, and excuses have become the norm. The need for a transformational change is urgent. We demand the resignation of Shammi Silva and the entire cricket administration to pave the way for a new beginning.
Here's what needs to happen:
🔸 Establish an independent interim cricket board that operates with transparency and holds itself accountable.
🔸 Implement transparent governance to ensure all decisions are made in the best interest of Sri Lankan cricket.
🔸 Overhaul the existing contracts and selection process, replacing them with merit-based competition for every spot.
🔸 Restore accountability and discipline within the organization, ensuring every team member understands the privilege and responsibility of representing the nation.
🔸 Introduce psychological training programs to build resilience under pressure, preparing players to handle the intense demands of international cricket.
Together, we can rebuild the once fearsome spirit of Sri Lankan cricket, instilling pride and excellence in every match played.
We call on all fans, former players, and stakeholders to support this cause. Sign this petition to demand the resignation of Shammi Silva and the cricket administration, ushering in a new era of integrity, determination, and triumph for Sri Lankan cricket. Your signature can make a difference.
