Sri Lanka cricket find themselves in the midst of a tumultuous period, grappling with a string of lackluster performances in the ODI World Cup 2023. The Islanders’ underwhelming show in the tournament has ignited a storm of criticism and intense scrutiny from the global cricket community. Fans, experts, and analysts have voiced concerns over the team’s lack of cohesion and consistency.

Wrath falls upon the Sri Lanka Cricket Board

In a significant development, Sri Lanka’s Sports Minister, Roshan Ranasinghe, took action on Mond🙈ay by dismissing the national crick🅠et board following their dismal performance in the ongoing event.

In a statement issued last Friday, the sports minister delivered a scathing critique of Sri Lanka Cricket, alleging disloyalty and corruption within the organization. He demanded the immediate resi🌠gnation of its board members.

Ranasinghe penned a letter on Saturday addressed to the International Cricket Council‘s (ICC) full members, seeking their comprehens⛎ion and backing.

“Sri Lanka Cricket has been besieged with complaints of player disciplinary issues, management corruption, financial misconduct and match-fixing allegations,” Ranasinghe said in the letters, released to Sri Lankan m𝄹edia.

New Chairman of the seven-member committee

Ranasinghe has appointed a new interim committee of seven members to oversee Sri Lankan cricket. Notably, this committee is led by the former World Cup-winning captain, Arjuna Ranatunga. According to an an✱nouncement from the Ministry of Sports, Ranasinghe invoked the authority granted by Sports Law No. 25 of 1973 to constitute this co🔴mmittee.

The newly appointed committee includes three retired judges, with two of them being female, as well as former SLC chairman Upali Dharmadasa. This move marks a return for Ranatunga, who previously led a similar interim committee back in 2008, taking charge of Sri Lanka’s cricket administration once again.
