Sri Lanka President may attend World Cup final in India
The office of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse have requested 30 seats in the ICC president’s box, should the Lankans line up for a second successive World Cup final in Mumbai on April 2, the Indian Express reported.
“The Sri Lankan government had sent in a request to Sharad Pawar after the team booked a semifinal berth in the likelihood of them reaching the final,” a BCCI source said on the condition of anonymity.
“The President might travel with an entourage of 30 and they’ll be seated in the 200-seater president’s box at the Wankhede Stadium. Should India also make it to the final, the number of dignitaries will obviously be many more, and it is going to be quite a task for the hosts to accommodate all the local requests,” he added.
