Chaminda Vaas Calls Out SLC Over Thushara's IPL Snub!
Sri Lanka Cricket blocks young star from IPL 2026. What’s going on?
Nuwan Thushara, the young speedster with a bright future, is set to miss the IPL 2026 season after Sri Lanka Cricket decided to play hardball. The board has denied him a No Objection Certificate, citing a new fitness policy that’s about as popular as a pie chucker in a T20 match. Retained by RCB, Thushara's absence raises eyebrows, especially with Josh Hazlewood also facing fitness issues.
Chaminda Vaas isn’t holding back, slamming SLC for their decision. This isn’t just a setback for Thushara, but a potential disaster for RCB, who desperately need firepower in their bowling lineup. The fitness policy might be well-intentioned, but blocking a young talent from showcasing his skills in the IPL feels like a massive own goal.
With the tournament just around the corner, RCB will be sweating bullets trying to find a replacement. Will SLC reconsider their stance? Or are they too busy enforcing rules instead of nurturing talent?
