Sri Lanka Cricket suspended by ICC Board
Delhi: The ICC Board has suspended Sri Lanka Cricket’s ICC membership with immediate effect after concluding that the organization is in significant violation of its obligations as a Member. This breach primarily pertains to the mandate to autonomously manage its affairs and prevent government interference in the governance, regulation, and administration of cricket in Sri Lanka. The specific terms of the suspension will be determined by the ICC Board at a later time.
The ICC said: “The conditions of the suspension will be decided by the ICC Board in due course.” The ICC Board is set to meet on November 21, after which the future course of action is expected to be clearer. Sri Lanka is scheduled to host the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup across January and February 2024.
The Sri Lanka men’s team have had a forgettable time at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, winning just two of their nine matches and finishing with four points. They sit at No.8 in the points table with three more matches to be played in the league phase
