The suspension of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has more facets than are evident. The International Cricket Council (ICC), which suspended the group, appears to benefit from the decision made during an emergent board meeting. Following the surprising ruling by the ICC, Shammi Silva, the elected president of the SLC, is not precisely a persona non grata. In reality, the ICC declared that it continued to recognize him as a director and his “democratically elected office-bearers.”
More precisely, this action taken to avoid the government taking control of the SLC, which the nation’s auditor general claimed was corrupt. To emphasize the point even further, the nation’s Parliament was getting ready to have its own representative, Arjuna Ranatunga, lead the body when it discussed the SLC corruption problem just a few days ago.
To put it more precisely, Roshan Ranasinghe, the minister of sports, has been in the forefront of efforts to completely alter the SLC’s constitution. He named Ranatunga, the island’s sole World Cup-winning captain, as the temporary committee’s chairman. The temporary head’s policies add another layer of complexity to the choice. Ranatunga not well-liked in the world of international cricket administration because of her perceived extreme views on the sport in Sri Lanka, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and the ICC.
“The ICC Board convened today and found that Sri Lanka Cricket is gravely violating its Member obligations, specifically the duty to conduct its business independently and guarantee that the government does not meddle in the regulation, governance, or administration of cricket in Sri Lanka. In due time, the ICC Board will determine the terms of the ban, according to an ICC statement.
