Sri Lanka apologises to stripped groundsmen

Colombo - Dozens of groundsmen at Sri Lanka's Hambantota cricket stadium have complained that they were ordered to give back their uniforms before being paid -- even though they were wearing them at the time.

Sri Lanka's cricket board was forced to apologise after social media reports that some workers had to leave the ground in their underwear at the end of the fifth one-day international between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe on Monday.

"Whilst stern action will be taken against those responsible, Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to apologise to those subjected to this ignominy, and will take steps to ensure they are compensated," the board said in a statement.

The workers had been told that they would not be paid until they returned the uniforms provided by the board.

Zimbabwe claimed the one-day international series against Sri Lanka 3-2, embarrassing a home side that has struggled with fitness, losses and coaching upheaval.

The guy responsible for this must be sick - couldn't resist watching several grown up men in their under garments.

He needs treatment, not punishment.

You have to be kidding me? Is SL board that broke that they could not do away with a couple of pair of PANTS? Seriously?

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Sri Lankan cricket really is the pants at the moment, on and off the field.

So did the groundsmen show up with underwear to the ground before borrowing uniform ? Why not take of the uniform and wear what you wore to the ground ? [MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION]

Had no idea that there is a uniform for groundsmen. Let’s just hope that no one turned up commando.

Very kafeel like mentality of sl board in renumerating the labors only after they returned their uniform pants.

Kafeel means sponsor in arab states. They do exhibit traits akin to this
