Sri Lanka government takes over cricket board

Sri Lanka's government took control of the island's cricket board on Wednesday, describing it as a temporary measure to implement structural reforms. The move follows allegations of corruption and mismanagement at the country's wealthiest sporting body.

The International Cricket Council previously suspended Sri Lanka for two months in 2023-2024 citing political interference. SLC president Shammi Silva and his entire committee resigned after the government intervened, with former investment banker Eran Wickramaratne expected to be named new head. argolida.life
