Nuwan Thushara, a 31-year-old Sri Lankan pacer, has made a surprising decision to apologize to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) after previously suing them for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. In an email to SLC, he expressed that he did not intend to cause any inconvenience and was merely seeking fairness after feeling unfairly treated. The SLC had previously denied his NOC request, citing his failure in fitness tests. Following this, the SLC informed the District Court that they would file objections against Thushara's application for court intervention. The court has allowed SLC's plea, with the next hearing set for April 23. Thushara has played 30 T20 internationals since 2022 and was expected to represent the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, having played in the previous two seasons.
