INDIA: Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja joining his former teammate Navajot Singh Sidhu, in support of the Sri Lankan cricket team, slammed Amnesty International for its unethical tactics against the Sri Lankan cricket team at the World Cup.

Jadeja told the Daily News: “Sri Lanka is the most balanced side in the World Cup. I feel Sri Lanka has the best chance to win the World Cup. What this Organisation is trying to do at the World Cup is wrong.

They are trying to stop a growing child, a healthy child. Whatever they are planning to do they can do it elsewhere and after the World Cup. They should keep off the World Cup and cricket.”

“I say to them, don’t stop the sport. It is unethical to do such things. The Sri Lankan team is doing very well and these types of schemes are not good and healthy. But, I know this type of activities will not upset the Sri Lankan cricket team,” the former Indian cricketer said.

Jadeja added that no organisation should be allowed to upset the cricket since the Sri Lankan team was performing well at the World Cup. Earlier, Navjot Singh Sidhu came hard on the human rights organisation. Sidhu urged the organisation to stick to their work elsewhere without belittling themselves at the World Cup.
