A controversy has emerged within Sri Lanka Cricket as reports suggest that several referees lacking the necessary qualifications have been elevated to higher ranks in the cricket referee rankings. The grading process for referees involves examinations, physical fitness tests, and assessments based on captain and match referee reports.
However, accusations have surfaced, asserting that some individuals overseeing this process lack understanding and are allegedly catering to the preferences of higher-ranking officials. Players are expressing concerns that the presence of unqualified referees in prominent matches may lead to poor decisions, potentially altering the outcomes of these games.
