Colombo, May 24 : Former national team coach Geoff Marsh is suing Sri Lanka Cricket over his dismissal five months ago.
According to Sports24, Sri Lanka Cricket President Upali Dharmadasa confirmed on Wednesday that Marsh had sent a letter of demand, but refrained from discussing the contents of the letter, saying it is a legal matter.
Sri Lanka fired former Australian player Marsh as coach in January, only three months into his two-year contract, and replaced him with former South Africa coach Graham Ford.
There were no reasons given for removing Marsh, who had been in charge for only two Test series involving the Sri Lankan team.
