Nuwan Thushara sues SLC for refusing NOC cricket View(s): View(s):The debate surrounding Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) physical performance test took a new twist this week with fast bowler Nuwan Thushara suing the board for refusing a No Objection Certificate (NOC) after the sling-arm paceman failed to meet required fitness standards. At the last Test conducted, Thushara has managed just five points out of 29 total points. The IPL season has already commenced, with Thushara missing his team’s opening match on March 28, and facing exclusion from the entire tournament unless urgent relief is granted. Therefore, Thushara seeks a declaration from the court that he is entitled to the NOC, along with mandatory injunctions compelling SLC to issue it. He also requests interim relief to ensure he can participate in the ongoing IPL season.
