Suggestions were that he was either trying to qualify for the LPL, the franchise-cricket tournament that features international cricketers, or attempting to meet the eligibility criteria to run for cricket administration.
“I have no intention of getting involved with the cricket administration and neither do I have any intention of playing for the LPL,” Rajapaksa said in a statement circulated by his Media Secretary, received at 10:25 p.m.
“If I’m playing any sport I give my 100% and that’s only because I love sports. I am currently preparing for the rugby sevens tournament on the 30th and 31st of this month and I am currently playing cricket with our old Thomian team,” the statement also said.
However, when Daily Mirror spoke to the President of the Kalutara TC earlier in the evening, he claimed that Rohitha had approached him about playing for the club.
“He came and spoke to me and said he was keen to play cricket with our club. He has been playing for the last six or seven months and he said he was interested in playing in the upcoming 50-over club tournament,” Kalutara Town Club President Deepal Perera told the Daily Mirror.
“I don’t know whether he wants to continue playing beyond the 50-over tournament, but his initial plan is to play in that tournament,” Perera added.

He hasn't said that he was not going to play for the club. Whatever suggestions have been made by the media.
