SLC blacklists supplier over substandard nets

A supplier who had supplied Sri Lanka Cricket with a stock of sub-standard nets, had been blacklisted with immediate effect and payments would not be made until a new stock is supplied, treasurer of Sri Lanka Cricket Shammi Silva said.

He also added that the supplier will no longer be permitted to participate in future tenders. The supplier in question is said to have followed stringent protocol procedures and had even produced samples which were in line with the necessary requirements.

However upon inspection it was revealed that he had supplied inferior nets.

The management of SLC has halted all payments and has requested the supplier to resupply the correct nets. The substandard ones would be removed indefinitely.
