Tigers stop bus, threaten Ajantha

14-10-2008

Sri Lanka's cricketers, involved in the Canada Cup T-20 tournament in Toronto, Canada came under threats by a group of LTTE supporters after their game against the hosts at the Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto.

On their way to the hotel, the team bus was blocked by LTTE activists causing panic among some players. Later, the bus proceeded after the mob dispersed.

The group abused the players while the play was on from the road adjacent to the Maple Leaf Stadium and Ajantha Mendis, Thilina Kandamby and Nuwan Kulasekara manning the boundary close to the road were targeted.

After the incident was reported, the Canadian police promised action against trouble makers and better protection in the future.

\"We have informed Police and they have promised to take action,\" Nishantha Ranatunga Sri Lanka team manager said.

Earlier, the LTTE sympathizers had held banners protesting against Mendis, as he was a member of the Sri Lanka Army.

Mendis, however only plays domestic cricket for the army and is not involved in military activities.

Ajantha was a member of the Sri Lanka Army

What is so special about it...
He has a right to do any job he prefers. Other cricketers too have their jobs... It is not important what he does for living. It is not a point to harrass him..
It is just stupid to make such a big noise about someones job when he is playing cricket ...
