ICC suspends Sri Lanka Cricket – The International Cricket Council Board has suspended Sri Lanka Cricket’s membership of the ICC with immediate effect.
In a statement released on Friday night, the ICC said that the SLC had breached its obligations as a member, in particular the requirement to manage its affairs autonomously and without government interference.
In its statement, the ICC said: “The conditions of the suspension will be decided by the ICC Board in due course.”
The ICC Board is set to meet on November 21, after which the future course of action is expected to be clearer.
Moreover, Sri Lanka is scheduled to host the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup across January and February 2024.
The Sri Lanka men’s cricket team hasn’t had a great run in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, managing to secure only two victories out of their nine matches and ending up with four points. Currently positioned at No.8 in the points table, they still have three more matches to play in the league phase.
