Colombo, Apr 23 (PTI) Fast bowler Nuwan Thushara, who had dragged Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) to court for not issuing him a No Objection Certificate (NoC) for competing in the IPL, on Thursday withdrew the case against the governing body.
The player with 30 T20 international appearances since 2022, pleaded that the SLC had refused to issue him a NOC, saying that he had failed fitness tests.
His attorney told the district court that since most of the games in the IPL have already been completed, his client wished to withdraw the case which the court upheld.
He apologized to the SLC and indicated his willingness to withdraw the case.
Thushara was to appear for defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore (RSB) this season having previously played in 2024 and 2025. PTI Corr APS APS APS
