It can be recalled that last month former Sri Lanka skipper Arjuna Ranatunga alleged that the 2011 World Cup final between the islanders and India was fixed.

"You can't stop people talking when they have a grudge against certain people. One can say many things against them.

"But at the end of the day you need to come out and prove what you are saying. It's fair that they should have all the proof needed," Aravinda told mid-day yesterday, without taking any names.

He added: "Obviously, it hurts. I think players make mistakes on the field and every time they do, they are likely to be accused of various things." he said.
