The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board has taken decisive action by suspending Sri Lanka Cricket’s membership with immediate effect. The decision comes after a meeting held today, during which the ICC Board concluded that Sri Lanka Cricket was in serious violation of its membership obligations.
The primary concern raised by the ICC pertains to Sri Lanka Cricket’s failure to manage its affairs autonomously, a key requirement for all ICC Members. The cricket governing body emphasized the necessity for member nations to ensure there is no government interference in the governance, regulation, and administration of cricket within their respective countries.
The suspension of Sri Lanka Cricket’s membership raises questions about the future of the nation’s involvement in international cricket events. The ICC Board has yet to outline the specific conditions of the suspension, indicating that these details will be determined and communicated in due course.
