Sri Lanka Considers Interim Committee for Cricket Board After T20 World Cup Losses

Following Sri Lanka's poor performance in the T20 World Cup, where they lost all Super Eight matches and were eliminated early, Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage indicated that discussions with the ICC are underway to appoint an interim committee to oversee Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). This move aims to rebuild the sport and avoid past sanctions linked to government interference. Current SLC chairman Shammi Silva's tenure runs until 2027, but public protests have called for his resignation. The government seeks to restore cricket to its pre-2014 success levels while urging support for players amid criticism.
