Arjuna Ranatunga has alleged that Sri Lankan President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, favoured sending the Sri Lankan cricketers for the IPL rather than on the chance to play more international cricket.

There was a furore in Sri Lanka ahead of the IPL 2 season in South Africa when the Sri Lankan cricketers complained that they did not want to tour England after the SLC planned a late series with the ECB. Eventually the tour was cancelled and the cricketers were allowed to participate in the IPL.
