Sri Lanka Esports ready to take on the Asian Games Challenge

The Sri Lanka Esports Association (SLESA) has confirmed the national teams set to represent Sri Lanka at the Asian Games 2026 Esports Qualifiers, which are being conducted throughout June 2026.

The qualifiers serve as the official selection pathway to the 20th Asian Games, to be held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, from 19 September to 4 October 2026, where Esports will feature as a full medal event for the second consecutive time at the Games.

The national squads were confirmed following the successful conclusion of the Esports Nationals 2026, the official national qualifier conducted by SLESA. The Selection Committee of the Sri Lanka Esports Association, appointed by the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs, formalised the team selections, which were subsequently reviewed and approved by the National Sports Selection Committee. The process reflects SLESA’s commitment to a transparent, merit-based pathway for national representation in Esports.

Sri Lanka will field national teams across six titles at the qualifiers.

Each of the six national squads will be accompanied by a well-experienced team manager. Raveen Wijayatilake accompanies both the Naraka: Bladepoint and PUBG MOBILE teams while Vikum Jayasekera will oversee the League of Legends and Mobile Legends squads and Ramesh Liyanage will manage the Identity V and Honour of Kings teams.

Sri Lanka Esports Secretary Ramesh Liyanage said: ‘Sri Lankan Esports athletes who once dreamt of representing their country in Esports now have a chance to wear the national jersey and take part in Esports for a multisport event at the level of the Asian Games. Thanks to a structured pathway, we are now seeing players who are committed towards the sport realise their potential on the international stage. SLESA is confident that these teams will give their very best and regardless of the outcome, the experience of competing at an event of this calibre will only strengthen them, much like it has for Sri Lanka’s athletes across traditional sports for generations.’

With the qualifiers now underway, Sri Lanka’s national teams will compete against some of the strongest Esports talent across the continent. The Asian Games have always been about more than results. They represent the spirit of fair competition and the pursuit of excellence at the highest level. For Sri Lanka’s Esports athletes, the experience of competing in that environment will be as significant as the outcome and one that will no doubt serve them well in the years ahead.

Weligama Sharks Top the Table Ahead of Colombo Aces

The road to the semifinals has been a brilliant start for the new multi-sport franchise, Weligama Sharks.

Day 1 saw the team take out the Trinco Titans convincingly, winning 44-24. It was a statement opener for the Sharks, setting the tone for what was to come in Group A.

Day 2 brought a much tougher test, as the Sharks came up against Colombo Aces. Both teams played a great match, full of close, hard-fought sets. In the end, the Sharks fell just short, with the Aces edging it 36-35.

Day 3 saw the Sharks bounce back in style. Facing Ella Archers in their final group match, the Sharks made quick work of them once again, winning 37-27.

When the dust settled on the group stage, it was Weligama Sharks sitting on top of the table – ahead of Colombo Aces, who are fast becoming their new arch rivals in franchise sport.

This season marks Season 2 of the Standard Chartered Priority Sri Lanka Padel League, powered by Hutch – organised by Eventistry Sports. The league has grown into one of the most exciting team sport competitions in the country, bringing together city and regional franchises in a fast-paced, high-energy format.

With eight teams split across two groups, the round-robin stage has delivered drama, rivalries, and some seriously high-quality padel.

Weligama Sharks, playing their very first season as a franchise, have shown they belong at the top of the conversation – finishing the group stage unbeaten in spirit, even after one narrow loss to the Aces.

The Finals take place this Sunday at the CR and FC, starting at 2 PM, with a pre-finals show by Magic Box Mix Up set to get the crowd going before the action begins.

With Weligama Sharks finishing top of Group A, all eyes will be on whether they can carry their group-stage form into the knockout rounds – and whether Colombo Aces will get their chance at revenge.

On food and passion to create

Minoli De Silva is a 40-year-old Sri Lankan-born Australian and a former chemical engineer. Five years ago, she left her engineering profession to dedicate herself to her childhood passion: food. The creation of food, mainly Sri Lankan cuisine, fascinated her. In 2021 and 2022, she took a leap of faith by competing in MasterChef Australia, presenting Sri Lankan food, and thereafter opening a now highly successful Sri Lankan restaurant in Darwin, Australia, named ‘Ella’. The restaurant is named after the Uva Province town of Ella in Sri Lanka, and she has since developed a culinary fusion of Sri Lankan food with both Sri Lankan and Australian spices, earning ‘Ella’ a place in the Australian Good Food Guide.

De Silva was in Sri Lanka last month at the invitation of the Dilmah Tea Company as part of a documentary series promoting Sri Lanka that Dilmah has embarked upon.

At the end of her visit to Sri Lanka, during which she travelled across the island as part of the documentary production, including to Kandy, Jaffna and, of course, Ella, experiencing the food of each locale, she spoke to a small group of Sri Lankans in a unique interaction arranged by Dilmah.

‘Stories, flavour, resilience and reinvention’ was the theme of what Dilmah described as an ‘intimate salon conversation’ held at the t-Lounge and Bar by Dilmah at The Shoppes at City of Dreams in Colombo.

As De Silva began speaking in an open, clear and joyous manner about her life, and especially the bold step of leaving an engineering career to cook, what emerged between the lines and through her carefree manner of speaking was a quiet wisdom.

‘It is what you put into the world that is returned to you. Ultimately, one has to be happy. One has to be at peace with oneself in doing what the heart calls. This is what I chose to do after more than a decade of functioning very successfully as an engineer in Australia,’ she stated.

The questions fielded to her were many.

Fellow Sri Lankans, the majority of whom had never been to Australia, wanted to know many things, one of which was how her Sri Lankan parents, originally from Gampola in Kandy, reacted to her decision to leave her engineering career to cook.

‘My mother knew I loved to cook. I used to copy her cooking and failed many times to get the taste of the curry right. But once I took the decision, it was respected as what I wanted,’ she replied.

De Silva finished in 10th place in Season 13 of MasterChef Australia in 2021 and in 18th place in Season 14 in 2022. Although she did not win, she became one of the most popular contestants and, as a result, an ambassador for Sri Lankan food.

The documentary she participated in for Dilmah, aimed at promoting Sri Lanka and its cuisine, will be showcased to the public at a later date. What is already clear, however, is that De Silva is among the strongest promoters of her birth country in Australia. She left Sri Lanka with her parents at the age of six, and although she grew up in an English-speaking country, her connection to her parents’ language, Sinhala, remains strong.

‘I speak Sinhala at home. I can speak it now,’ she quipped.

Listening to her anecdotes, from her food-obsessed childhood self sneaking money from her mother’s purse to buy a hot dog, to her audacity in competing on MasterChef Australia without any previous professional culinary experience, was a testament to how human beings are united by the common threads of passion, hope and the desire to create something beyond routine or fear.

‘How many of you are doing something you really, really love?’ she asked her small audience, which consisted of a few writers and mostly young entrepreneurs and culinary enthusiasts.

My hand shot up and she grinned at me.

Later, during a brief private discussion, I asked her about something I sensed as she spoke: a deeper inner awareness and connection with the universe that she seemed to possess.

I referred to one of her comments in which she stated that ‘it is what you put out into the world that you get back’.

There was also a thread in her thinking that emphasised the importance of forgiving oneself and becoming one’s own best friend by offering oneself love through trust.

‘I spend a lot of time alone contemplating various things. I believe that one has to connect first with oneself, to truly understand what one wants to give to the world. I first chose engineering, but it was not my passion. It was something I pursued, but it was not something I would sacrifice everything for. I left it when I did because it felt like the right time. The COVID-19 lockdown was the decisive period, because I had time to cook, and then the change occurred just like that,’ she shared.

In the adjoining article on this page are some reflections on youth, examination stress, and the importance of choosing what brings happiness and peace. De Silva is a powerful example, for both young people and parents in Sri Lanka, of choosing joy over fear and constraint when deciding on a career path. If more Sri Lankans could make a choice like De Silva’s and venture into the global arena with confidence and faith, pursuing paths off the beaten track, the country would undoubtedly create more of the happiness it so greatly needs.

ICC Chairman, BCCI Secretary meet SLC Transformation Committee

International Cricket Council (ICC) Chairman Jay Shah and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Devajit Saikia yesterday met with the leadership of Sri Lanka Cricket during a brief visit to Colombo.

The discussions were cordial and constructive, focussing on the current status of cricket administration in Sri Lanka and the progress made by the Government-appointed Transformation Committee currently entrusted with overseeing the governance transition process.

During the meeting, Sri Lanka Cricket provided the ICC Chairman and BCCI Secretary with a comprehensive update on the steps taken to date to strengthen governance structures and advance the reform process. The delegation was also apprised of the ongoing work relating to constitutional and administrative reforms aimed at ensuring long-term stability and good governance within Sri Lanka Cricket.

Importantly, Sri Lanka Cricket shared indicative timelines for the completion of the reform process and the return to governance by a duly elected administration in accordance with the applicable legal and constitutional framework.

The ICC delegation was briefed on the milestones achieved thus far and the measures being undertaken to facilitate a smooth and transparent transition.

The ICC Chairman welcomed the update and reaffirmed the ICC’s commitment to supporting its Member Boards in promoting strong governance, transparency, and the continued growth of the game.

Sri Lanka Cricket expressed its appreciation to Shah and Saikia for taking the time to visit Colombo and engage in a constructive dialogue on the future direction of cricket administration in Sri Lanka.

The meeting also provided an opportunity to discuss matters relating to cricket development, bilateral cooperation, and the continued strengthening of ties between Sri Lanka Cricket, the ICC, and the BCCI.

COPF approves CBSL data collection, export proceeds rules

The Committee on Public Finance (COPF) has approved two sets of rules issued under the Central Bank of Sri Lanka Act, while raising concerns over gaps in public debt data publication, delays in government securities market reporting and the accuracy of tourism earnings estimates.

The approvals were granted at a meeting chaired by COPF Chairman and Member of Parliament Dr. Harsha de Silva on 9 June, with Central Bank Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe and other officials in attendance, according to a statement issued by the Parliament Secretariat.

COPF approved rules published in Extraordinary Gazette Notification No. 2479/54 dated 12 March 2026, which prescribe the statistics and information that the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) may require from external parties in carrying out its functions, including monetary policy formulation.

The rules specify the categories of information to be reported, the persons subject to reporting obligations and administrative measures applicable in cases of non-compliance. They also limit the authority to issue information requests to designated CBSL officials, namely Deputy Governors, the Head of the Economic Research Department and the Head of the Department of Census and Statistics. The framework further includes safeguards requiring information collected to be used only for the purposes for which it was obtained.

During deliberations, the Committee drew attention to the non-publication of certain Government debt statistics previously released by the CBSL (See: https://www.ft.lk/front-page/Debt-data-gaps-emerge-after-PDMO-transition/44-793327).

It was noted that the relevant data are now maintained by the Public Debt Management Office (PDMO) and that challenges exist in reproducing debt statistics in the format historically published by the Central Bank. COPF stressed the importance of preserving public access to government debt information through CBSL publications and also highlighted delays in the release of reports relating to the secondary market for Government securities.

The Committee also underscored concerns regarding the accuracy of tourism earnings estimates (See: https://www.ft.lk/front-page/CoPF-probes-tourism-data-gaps-informal-forex-flows-and-illegal-foreign-payment-gateways/44-793324)

The committee noted that the growing use of multiple payment channels by visitors has complicated data collection. Members called for improvements to survey methodologies and data collection processes to enhance the reliability of tourism earnings estimates.

COPF also approved the ‘Repatriation of Export Proceeds into Sri Lanka Rules No. 2 of 2026’, published under Extraordinary Gazette Notification No. 2492/10 dated 9 June 2026.

The amended rules require exporters who repatriate export proceeds into Sri Lanka during a given month to utilise such funds only for permitted payments and convert any remaining balances into rupees on or before the 10th day of the following month. The measure effectively shortens the previous three-month conversion period provided under regulations introduced in 2024.

According to the Parliament Secretariat, CBSL informed the Committee that the change was necessitated by exchange rate volatility and shortages of foreign exchange liquidity in the domestic market.

COPF, however, cautioned that the measure could affect market confidence and contribute to volatility in the foreign exchange market. In response, CBSL officials stated that the requirement was intended as a temporary measure to address current market conditions and would be relaxed once stability returned to the foreign exchange market.

The Committee also discussed the alleged financial fraud involving NDB Bank and reviewed technical matters relating to the incident, including the role and responsibilities of the CBSL. COPF decided to revisit the matter after the completion of the ongoing forensic audit.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Ministers Dr. Kaushalya Ariyaratne and Nishantha Jayaweera, Members of Parliament Rauff Hakeem, Ravi Karunanayake, M.K.M. Aslam, Nimal Palihena, Wijesiri Basnayake, Sunil Rajapaksha, Thilina Samarakoon, Champika Hettiarachchi and Lakmali Hemachandra, as well as a delegation from the House Democracy Partnership and the Congressional Budget Office of the United States Congress, which attended as observers.

The Ambassador of Sri Lanka to the State of Qatar, Sithara Khan, hosted a special felicitation ceremony for Sri Lankan javelin champion Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage at the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Doha on 18 June 2026, ahead of his participation in the Wanda Diamond League at the Qatar Sports Club on 19 June 2026.

Rumesh arrived in Doha following his impressive victory in the men’s javelin event at the Ostrava Golden Spike Meet in the Czech Republic, where he secured first place with a remarkable throw of 86.57 metres. His exceptional performances during the season has elevated him to the current World No. 2 ranking in the men’s javelin throw.

Addressing the gathering, Ambassador Sithara Khan congratulated Rumesh on his outstanding achievements and conveyed her best wishes for his event which took place yesterday at the Qatar Sports Club. The Ambassador also commended his dedication and ambition to bring an Olympic medal to Sri Lanka at the 2028 Olympic Games.

In his remarks, Rumesh said the event in Doha would be an opportunity to compete with other world champions and expected to achieve his best. He further expressed his sincere appreciation to his family, coaches, supporters and well-wishers for their continuous encouragement and support throughout his journey. He highlighted that their support has played a significant role in helping him improve his performance and continue his pursuit of achieving Olympic success for Sri Lanka.

The event was attended by Rumesh’s father, Thushara Premakeerthi Pathirage, his coach Tony Prasanna and his Physiotherapist Chandima Sarathchandra Gurusinghe. Representatives of the Sri Lanka Coordinating Committee led by the President Duleep Liyanage, Sri Lanka Benevolent Fund, Sri Lanka Business and Professional Council. The staff of the Sri Lanka Embassy in Doha also attended the event and extended their best wishes for his upcoming competition.

The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Doha joins the Sri Lankan community in wishing Rumesh every success at the Wanda Diamond League and in his continued journey towards bringing Olympic glory to Sri Lanka.

Govt. tightens rules after $ 85 m bogus import payments disclosure

The Government has moved to tighten oversight of outward remittances linked to imports, introducing new regulations that require real-time reporting of import-related foreign currency payments to Sri Lanka Customs and mandatory registration of importers before advance payments can be made. The new regulations require commercial banks to assign a unique identification number to every import-related remittance transaction and immediately transmit detailed information to Customs. The data will include the importer’s Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), addresses of the remitter and beneficiary, account details, bank and branch information, currency and value of the transaction, payment and delivery terms, date of remittance, proforma invoice details and a description of the goods being imported.

In a further tightening of controls, importers making advance payments will be required to register with Sri Lanka Customs beforehand. Banks have been instructed not to process advance import payments unless the importer has completed the required registration.

The Imports and Exports (Control) Regulations No. 06 of 2026, signed by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake in his capacity as Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, came into effect yesterday.

The regulations represent one of the most significant enhancements to Sri Lanka’s monitoring framework for import-related foreign exchange transactions in recent years, reflecting growing concern among authorities over the misuse of trade payments to transfer funds overseas.

The move follows disclosures made in Parliament this month by Public Security Minister Ananda Wijepala, who outlined several ongoing investigations into alleged fraudulent telegraphic transfer (TT) transactions conducted through shell companies.

According to the Minister, one investigation uncovered a company that remitted Rs. 12.89 billion through 953 transactions to 256 companies across 26 countries, resulting in an outflow of $ 42.7 million. Investigators found no evidence that goods corresponding to those payments had been imported into Sri Lanka.

The Minister also disclosed details of a third investigation covering the period from 2023 to 2025, which identified 26,108 TT transactions routed through 227 bank accounts maintained at 13 banks. Investigators linked 105 local companies to the operation, many of which had been incorporated under a small group of individuals before being wound up within months.

Preliminary findings suggest that shell companies were repeatedly established to facilitate outward remittances before being dissolved, raising concerns over possible money laundering, foreign exchange violations and other criminal activity.

Against that backdrop, the latest regulations appear designed to close information gaps between financial institutions and Customs by creating a direct reporting mechanism for import-related remittances and linking foreign currency payments more closely to import documentation and tax records.

The requirement for Customs registration before advance payments are made is also expected to strengthen the authorities’ ability to track importers and verify whether goods corresponding to foreign currency outflows subsequently enter the country.

The Controller General of Imports and Exports has been empowered to issue operational guidelines to Customs, commercial banks and other relevant institutions to facilitate implementation of the new framework.

The Government has separately indicated that it intends to amend legislation to once again classify foreign exchange control violations as offences that can be investigated under anti-money laundering laws, signalling a broader effort to strengthen enforcement as investigations continue.

Authorities are also examining whether any public officials or banking personnel failed to carry out required oversight responsibilities in relation to the transactions currently under investigation.

From system change to no system

For a Government that came to power promising to end corruption and usher in an era of transparency and accountability, it has shown little enthusiasm for investigating cases involving its own members.

Take the case of the missing $ 2.5 million. The only reason the matter remains alive is because the Committee on Public Finance (CoPF), headed by SJB MP Dr. Harsha

de Silva, has been pushing for a proper inquiry. A few days ago, when the Committee met, the Finance Ministry submitted a report pertaining to the missing funds, which were meant to be paid as an instalment towards a bilateral debt repayment to Australia but were instead diverted to a third-party account by cybercriminals posing as officials of the Australian Government’s export credit agency, Export Finance Australia (EFA).

The contents of the report have not been fully made public, but what it has revealed is the Finance Ministry doing its part to pass the buck to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). The CBSL, in turn, has disputed the Finance Ministry’s version of events and has said it will submit its own report on the incident to the Committee shortly.

So far, the CBSL has maintained that it acted solely as the Government’s banker in processing debt repayments, while the Finance Ministry has said the CBSL failed to pay adequate attention to transactions carrying potential anti-money laundering (AML) concerns and did not provide information that could have assisted in identifying such risks in relation to the fraudulent transaction.

While the tug-of-war between the Finance Ministry and the CBSL may continue for some time, it is becoming increasingly clear that the money may never be recovered, and it will ultimately be the public that pays the price for the carelessness and inefficiency of the authorities concerned. The death of a Finance Ministry official, allegedly by suicide, has fuelled considerable speculation surrounding the missing millions and heightened the need for greater transparency.

However, rather than addressing these concerns directly, those in Government have sought to shift blame elsewhere, with no one appearing willing to take responsibility for the fiasco. Calls for the resignation of Finance Ministry Secretary Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma, a political appointee placed by the President in this highly sensitive and important position, have been ignored, and the Government appears determined to carry on in a business-as-usual manner.

The problem here is the double standard displayed by the ruling National People’s Power (NPP). Had the roles been reversed and another party been in power, many on the current Government benches would likely have been shouting from the rooftops that the money had either been siphoned into someone’s overseas account or diverted to a political party fund.

The same applies to several other cases in which individuals linked to the NPP have allegedly been associated with questionable transactions, including the recent controversy over the import of substandard coal, which reportedly caused losses amounting to millions of rupees in public funds, while burdening electricity consumers. Instead of addressing the specific allegations, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake chose to appoint a Presidential Commission to examine all coal imports, seemingly hoping that any past instances of wrongdoing uncovered would make the individual at the centre of the current controversy appear less culpable by comparison.

The NPP and its double speak are symbolic of what continues to ail the country. Previous administrations set the bar so low through mismanagement and corruption that stealing less than one’s predecessors has somehow become an acceptable benchmark. Whether it is the missing dollars or the coal imports controversy, those in power appear unwilling to look inward, preferring instead to point fingers elsewhere. From promises of system change, the NPP has drifted towards no system at all.

Thomians cruise past Sumangala 42-10 as Dias and Akbar shine in commanding victory

S. Thomas’ College, Mount Lavinia, produced an impressive display of attacking rugby to overpower Sumangala College 42-10 in their Dialog Schools Under-19 Rugby League Plate Segment encounter played at Havelock Park yesterday.

The Thomians dominated with their expansive running game and clinical finishing to secure a convincing victory after leading 21-5 at half-time.

Despite the final scoreline, Sumangala College made an encouraging start and enjoyed plenty of possession inside Thomian territory during the opening stages. However, the lads from Kandy were unable to convert their territorial advantage into points, missing a promising scoring opportunity that could have changed the complexion of the contest.

The Thomians, by contrast, made every attacking opportunity count. Displaying pace, precision and excellent support play, they crossed for three superb first-half tries to establish a healthy 21-5 advantage at the interval, while Sumangala managed to respond with a solitary try.

Fly-half Mayanka Dias was one of the standout performers of the evening. Besides orchestrating the backline with confidence, Dias crossed for a well-deserved try and was flawless with the boot, converting all six Thomian tries. His personal haul of 17 points underlined an outstanding all-round performance that kept the scoreboard ticking throughout the contest.

Winger Zaydaan Akbar was equally influential, proving a constant menace with his speed and finishing ability. Akbar sliced through the Sumangala defence to score two well-taken tries, capping an excellent outing on the wing. His intelligent running lines and ability to ghost past defenders proved a nightmare for the Sumangala players, who had no answer to stopping him. Chanuth Eheliyagoda and Vishwa Akash also added their names to the scoresheet with a try apiece as the Thomians continued to stretch their lead.

Sumangala showed commendable determination after the turnaround and enjoyed several promising passages of play. They were denied a try-scoring opportunity near the line due to a double movement. However, the Thomian defence remained disciplined and organised, limiting their opponents’ scoring chances. Maleesha Karunathilake accounted for both of Sumangala’s tries, providing the bright spark for his side despite the defeat.

Referee Jeewaka Fonseka controlled the game.

In another Plate Segment fixture, St. Joseph’s College edged Thurstan College 24-22 at Sugathadasa Stadium yesterday evening.

At half-time, Thurstan led 10-7.

St. Joseph’s now lead the Plate Segment standings with 24 points and will face Sumangala College in their final outing in Kandy.
