WATCH : “I only suspected” Former Sports Minister Aluthgamage

Former Minister of Sports Mahindananda Aluthgamage today said that he only “suspects” that the 2011 Cricket World Cup final between Sri Lanka and India was fixed.

On Thursday (18), the former Sports Minister made a shocking revelation, stating the match had been fixed.

However, addressing the media today, Aluthgamage clarified that he had only suspected a betrayal during the tournament.
