With immediate effect, the International Cricket Council Board has terminated Sri Lanka Cricket’s ICC membership.
The ICC said in a statement issued on Friday night that the SLC had violated its membership responsibilities, specifically the need to conduct its business independently and without intervention from the government.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) declared in a statement that “the conditions of the suspension will be decided by the ICC Board in due course.”
Following the November 21 meeting of the ICC Board, further clarity regarding the future course of action is anticipated.
The ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup is slated to take place in January and February of 2024 in Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lanka men’s team have had a forgettable time at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, winning just two of their nine matches and finishing with four points. They sit at No.8 in the points table with three more matches to be played in the league phase.
