Kushil Gunasekera appointed as Coordinating Secretary

Kushil Gunasekera was appointed by the Interim Committee last night to act as the Coordinating Secretary for the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL).

Gunasekera, a successful businessman, has assumed a low profile in Sri Lankan cricket during the last eight months after resigning from the board in May 2000 because of a personal conflict with Dammika Ranatunga, the Chief Executive at the time.

He is widely respected as a cricket administrator, however, after his untiring efforts as Tournament Secretary in the Under 19 World Cup, which was staged in Sri Lanka in January 2000
