ICC Upholds Suspension of Sri Lanka Cricket Amid Administrative Uncertainty

Ahmedabad, India - The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced its decision to uphold the suspension of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), citing administrative uncertainty within the organization. Following detailed deliberations, the ICC board decided to maintain the suspension, which was initially imposed on November 10.

While cricket activities involving the Sri Lanka national team will proceed without interruption, the suspension of the SLC will persist, indicating a continuing stand-off between the global cricket governing body and the Sri Lankan cricket administration.

The decision was confirmed during the ongoing ICC meeting in Ahmedabad, where officials discussed the status of Sri Lanka Cricket and the necessary steps to address the administrative challenges faced by the organization. The ICC board expressed concerns over the prevailing uncertainty and deemed it necessary to maintain the suspension until a resolution is reached.

In a significant development, the ICC has relocated the Under 19 World Cup from Sri Lanka to South Africa. The decision to move the tournament is a direct consequence of the administrative upheaval in Sri Lanka Cricket, raising questions about the country's ability to host international cricket events.
