Former Sri Lanka cricket captain Kumar Sangakkara has alleged he was threatened and discriminated against by Ryanair staff at Dublin Airport. Sangakkara made the claims public on Thursday, stating he experienced discriminatory treatment during an encounter with airline personnel.

The wicketkeeper-batter, who captained Sri Lanka in all formats and is widely regarded as one of cricket's greatest batsmen, did not provide specific details of the incident in his initial statement. Ryanair has not yet issued a public response to the allegations.
