A Cardinal from Vatican is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka on August 27th to make relevant inquiries into Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith who has been nominated for a cardinalship by the Vatican.
Bishops around the country are due to meet the Cardinal during his stay as part of the inquiry process, the Archbishop's house told Daily Mirror online.
Only on one instance has a Sri Lankan being presented with a cardinalship before.
Update: The Colombo Archdiocese has released a press statement denying this report. The cardinal visiting Sri Lanka is Cardinal Lovera, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship (where Archbishop Ranjith served before heading to Cololmbo), who is in the island to only to participate in a religious festival.
So, it seems an appointment is not imminent. But hopefully Archbishop Malcolm will be made a cardinal soon.
Also on the website, Archbishop Malcom appeals for prayers for the beatification of Thomas Cardinal Cooray, Sri Lanka's only cardinal, a truly great prelate.
