SLC's new stadium project suspended after backlash

Sri Lanka Cricket's new stadium project in Colombo, which was proposed only several days ago, has been suspended, following the Sri Lanka government's rowing back of its commitment to its construction.

Although on Sunday, government minister Bandula Gunawardana appeared with Sri Lanka Cricket CEO Shammi Silva to announce the construction of a 40,000-capacity stadium east of the city, adverse public opinion appears to have changed the government's mind.
