The Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has been brought under the control of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports after the resignation of its President Shammi Silva and the Executive Committee.
In an official statement issued today (April 29), the Ministry confirmed that the resignations have been accepted by the Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports.
Accordingly, under the powers vested by Sections 31 and 34 of the Sports Law No. 25 of 1973, all administrative functions of Sri Lanka Cricket have been temporarily taken over by the Ministry with immediate effect.
The statement further noted that a special committee will be appointed soon to address the ongoing issues within the cricket administration and to implement necessary structural reforms aimed at improving governance and performance in the sport.
