Sri Lanka’s world cup winning hero Roshan Mahanama has denied the ongoing reports that says he is going to contest the upcoming election.
Here is the full statement of Mahanama :
To my surprise, I have been informed that a false news item is circulating stating that I will be contesting in the upcoming elections. Please note that I have no intention of contesting any election and I am very disappointed that the social media is publishing incorrect information.
I have served my country to the best of my capacity as a cricketer and I want to be very clear that I will never get myself involved in any kind of political activity. I will always support valid charities as a responsible citizen, as I feel that one should not try to make a difference in someone’s life by using political means. I also wish to emphasize that my reputation matters and I have certain principles and values in life that I treasure.
Therefore, I am making a polite request to all social media users not to mislead the public and harm my reputation.
