Time and again certain media had highlighted the irresponsible behavior of Kariyapperuma in the dressing room, while highlighting his incompetence in handling manager’s job. Equally unpopular among players, Kariyapperuma was expected to be removed long time ago, but somehow managed to survive due to the backing of few influential outsiders.
“He has been asked to return to his original position as coordinator at Women’s Cricket. The board ExCo is expected to approve his removal during Friday’s meeting” a top SLC official had stated.
It has also learnt that at least 7 candidates have already applied for the post.
