The International Cricket Council Board has suspended Sri Lanka Cricket’s membership of the ICC with immediate effect.
The ICC Board met on Friday and determined that Sri Lanka Cricket is in serious breach of its obligations as a member and, in particular, “the requirement to manage its affairs autonomously and ensure that there is no government interference in the governance, regulation and/or administration of cricket in Sri Lanka”.
The conditions of the suspension will be decided by the ICC Board in due course.
Troubles in the Sri Lankan cricket board began soon after the side’s disastrous 302-run defeat to India at the 2023 World Cup, where it was bowled out for merely 55. Soon after the loss, the sports minister sacked the entire cricket board, further deepening the crisis situation. Sri Lanka Cricket, however, was soon reinstated by the court of appeal.
