Cricket: SLC plans to host Independence International Tournament in 2018
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is on the verge of making plans to host an international cricket tournament to celebrate Sri Lanka's 70th-year of independence in 2018.
SLC president Thilanga Sumathipala stated that a proposal of this tournament has been already sent to International Cricket Council (ICC) for approval during the forthcoming ICC Council Meeting to be held in Dubai.
“India has already been invited for the tournament and SLC has yet to finalise the other countries they are going to invite. The Sri Lankan government has also pledged its support to the tournament and President Maithripala Sirisena has invited India to take part during a discussion with Indian Premier Narendra Modi. Modi has accepted the invitation,” said Sumathipala.
"India will celebrate their 70th independence this year and if the BCCI conducts a similar tournament, Sri Lanka will take part in it. We have already invited India but about the other countries to be invited is still under process," Sumathipala said.
