Former Sri Lankan all-rounder Farveez Maharoof has withdrawn himself from the Constitutional Committee appointed to create a new constitution for Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).
In a Twitter message, Maharoof explained reasons for his withdrawal and paid gratitude to the sports minister Roshan Ranasinghe for accepting his request.
“Thank you, Hon. Sports Minister for releasing me from the committee appointed to create a new constitution for SLC. I feel my area of expertise is mainly on the technical matters of the game, and not on constitutional matters. As such, I feel that I can make a better contribution to technical matters and not on policy and law,” he said.

Last week, Minister Ranasinghe had appointed a 10-member committee to submit a draft of the proposed new constitution for Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). The committee comprised of Dr. Duminda Hulangamuwa, Dr. Ariththa Wickramanayake, President’s Counsel Harsha Amarasekera, Major General (Retd) Renuka Rowell, Deepthika Kulasena, Gayal Kalatuwawa, Hariguptha Rohanadeera and former cricketers Charith Senanayake and Farveez Maharoof
