Jointly run by Jayawardene and Sangakkara called The Crab Ministry was declared illegal.

COLOMBO: The title of a Colombo restaurant jointly run by Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene and batsman Kumar Sangakkara called The Crab Ministry was declared illegal. The Registrar of Companies of the Western Province said that the restaurant was originally registered as The Crab Corporation and using the word ‘ministry’ in the brand name was ‘illegal and unlawful’. The Crab Ministry was recently opened in an upmarket food court of the city. At the restaurant’s opening, Jayawardene and Sangakkara said they had both been interested in entering the food and restaurant business for some time.
