In a startling reversal, Sri Lankan cricketer Nuwan Thushara has apologized to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and is contemplating withdrawing his lawsuit against the board.
Thushara initially took legal action after being denied a No Objection Certificate (NOC) needed for participating in the IPL, citing perceived unfair treatment. However, SLC defended its decision by pointing to Thushara's failure in fitness assessments.
The court, siding with SLC's plea to file objections, has scheduled the next hearing for April 23. Thushara, with 30 T20 international matches since 2022, was set to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore, having participated previously in 2024 and 2025 seasons.
