Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 has concluded. More than 5 thousand athletes from 72 countries participated in this great game of 11 days. India’s neighboring country Sri Lankan athletes also participated in the Commonwealth Games, but after the completion of the Commonwealth Games, it is being told that 10 Sri Lankan players are missing. These include 9 athletes and one manager. In view of the country’s economic crisis, all these 10 also do not want to go back to Sri Lanka. A complaint was made to the local police to trace them but their whereabouts could not be traced.
Let us tell you that Sri Lanka is going through a period of severe economic crisis. The President has fled the country. The people here are not getting even the necessary face. The situation is so serious that the country has run out of fuel. People have to wait a long time for five to six days to put fuel in their vehicles. In such a situation, the citizens of Sri Lanka want to migrate from the country. A 161-member team, including 51 officials, went to Birmingham from Sri Lanka in the Commonwealth Games. Although there was a crisis with Sri Lankan athletes participating in the Commonwealth as well, but with the help of the Commonwealth Games Federation and the cricket board here, he was able to go to Birmingham.

Even before this, during the Wrestling World Championship in Oslo, the team manager had disappeared without informing. During the Asian Games in 2014, two Sri Lankan players from Sri Lanka went missing, about which no information was found.
