Netball players blame minister Featured

Several female Netball players charge that Sports minister Navin Dissanayake is disregarding sports professionals.

The charge was levelled during talks held recently to resolve several issues including not naming senior players for the Netball World Cup.

Talks have ended in stalemate after a heated exchange had taken place, reports add.

Marisha Fernando, Shashika Samarasinghe and Tharjani Shivalingam (the tallest female netball player in Asia) were removed from the World Cup pool.
