On Friday, November 10, the ICC took the audacious action of suspending Sri Lanka Cricket’s membership in retaliation for a breach of obligations. The governing body determined at the ICC meeting that Sri Lanka’s current cricket organization was not adhering to regulations, including the management of the cricket board independently and the prevention of government interference.
The decision, which is based on a breach of duty as a member, is mostly about the duty for independent oversight of cricket-related matters and the rule that the government cannot get involved in running and managing cricket in Sri Lanka.
As a result of the ICC Board’s determination that Sri Lanka Cricket has neglected to meet these responsibilities, its membership must be suspended immediately. The ICC Board will establish the precise conditions and terms of the suspension during the subsequent period.
The ICC Board’s decision signifies a notable advancement in the regulation of cricket in Sri Lanka and reaffirms the organization’s dedication to maintaining the self-governance and impartiality of its member organizations in the sport’s administration. Additional information regarding the ramifications and specifics of this suspension is pending resolution and will be disclosed as the legal process unfolds.The decision, which is based on a breach of duty as a member, is mostly about the duty for independent oversight of cricket-related matters and the rule that the government cannot get involved in running and managing cricket in Sri Lanka.
