Sport

Sports Minister Harin Fernando says he is revoking the gazette appointing an interim committee to run the affairs of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). Former Minister Roshan Ranasinghe under the powers vested in him, appointed an interim committee headed by Arjuna Ranatunga citing corruption at SLC.

•Today, I signed a gazette to revoke the decision appointing an interim committee for Sri Lanka Cricket, aiming to lift our ICC suspension. I’ve also written to the ICC, seeking their observations on the Auditor General’s report on SLC, and to the AG dept for future actions.” Sports Minister tweeted.

Accordingly, the interim committee appointed by former Minister Ranasinghe for the purpose of exercising the powers, functions and duties of SLC stands dissolved.
