One of the most controversial persons ever to be employed by Sri Lanka Cricket – B.H. Perera alias “Podi Sir” was sacked by the additional CEO Ajith Jayasekera yesterday, said a spokesman of the organisation yesterday.
“Podi Sir” who was a former teacher at Ananda College subsequently gave up that profession to pursue a career in cricket administration at the SLC. There he survived under many president’s including Thilanga Sumathipala, Jayantha Dharmadasa and under Arjuna Ranatunga where he was promoted as the administrative secretary.
However on March 18th at the inaugural press conference of the present IC, B.H. Perera suddenly walked into the midst of the conference and demanded that he comes up with his version on something that was written on him by a very senior journalist and in that incident he also had an exchange of words with the newly appointed committee.
Thereafter he was under interdiction until yesterday.
