Dayasiri Threatens To Dissolve Sri Lanka Cricket If It Fails To Carry Out Restructuring Plan

December 07, 2017

Sports Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera threatened to dissolve Sri Lanka Cricket if it failed to implement the plan for restructuring cricket. 

The plan was formulated by former cricketers Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Aravinda de Silva and Anura Tennakoon. 

The plan proposes a provincial cricket tournament above the first class matches played in Sri Lanka.

The idea of a provincial cricket tournament was mooted as it enables the top level players to compete against each other. 

The Minister, addressing the Cabinet meeting yesterday, also added he had no option but to dissolve the board if they failed to carry out the restructuring process.
