ICC suspended Sri Lanka Cricket Board: Decision after government interference; The team could win only two matches in the World Cup 2023

ICC suspended Sri Lanka Cricket Board: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC). After the government’s interference in the board, ICC immediately took away his membership. Sri Lanka’s performance in the ongoing ODI World Cup in India was very disappointing. The team could win only 2 out of 9 matches.

Decision taken in online meeting

During the World Cup, the ICC quarterly meeting will be held in Ahmedabad from November 18 to November 21. But considering the condition of the Sri Lanka Cricket Board, the ICC officials suspended the board in an online meeting.

ICC said that the government is interfering too much in the Sri Lanka Cricket Board. The government should not interfere in the work of an ICC member. But for the last few days, the Sri Lanka Board has not been able to function openly, hence it has been immediately suspended.

Hosting of Under-19 World Cup may be snatched away

After the suspension of SLC, there is hardly any impact on the players but ICC is withholding the revenue of Sri Lanka Board and also snatching the hosting of the next ICC event from them. Men’s Under-19 World Cup is to be held in Sri Lanka during January-February next year. If the board membership is not retained in ICC then the hosting rights of this tournament will also be lost.

The board was dissolved during the World Cup itself

Sri Lanka’s Sports Ministry on Monday, November 6, dismissed the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) after its disappointing performance in the World Cup. An interim board was also formed for Sri Lanka Cricket. Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe’s office had said in a statement, ‘The country’s 1996 World Cup-winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga has been appointed chairman of the new interim board.

There were also allegations of corruption on the board

Earlier, after the defeat to India, Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe in a statement on Friday described the Sri Lanka Cricket Board as traitors and corrupt. He had to resign from the board members. On Saturday, 4 November, Sri Lanka Cricket Secretary Mohan de Silva resigned from his post.

Sri Lanka could win only 2 matches in the World Cup

After being the runner up, the Sri Lankan team came to play the ODI World Cup. But the team’s performance was very disappointing; They could only win 2 out of 9 games. Only teams England and Netherlands were defeated. They also lost to Asian teams like Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan. All the matches of the team have ended and it is at 9th position in the points table of 10 teams.

The board was worried after the 302-run loss to India.

India defeated Sri Lanka by 302 runs in the World Cup on 2 November. Batting first, India scored 357 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in this match. Sri Lankan team came out to chase the target of 358 runs, but could score only 55 runs. Half of the Sri Lankan team came out after scoring only twenty-four. Top Order was a complete failure. After the defeat to India, the Sri Lankan board had expressed concern over the poor performance of the team.
