The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board has announced the immediate lifting of the suspension on Sri Lanka Cricket today. The suspension, which was imposed in November last year, was due to serious breaches of ICC Member obligations, particularly regarding the autonomy in managing cricket affairs without government interference.
Reports indicate that the ICC has closely monitored SLC’s progress during the suspension period. It has been confirmed that SLC has satisfactorily addressed the issues that led to the suspension. Observing the board’s progress, the ICC has decided to lift the ban on cricket activities in Sri Lanka.
The reinstatement marks a positive development for Sri Lanka’s cricket community and signifies a renewed commitment to autonomous administration. With the suspension lifted, Sri Lanka can now actively participate in international cricket, bringing excitement to cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
