Cricket fans in Sri Lanka rejoice! The International Cricket Council (ICC) has lifted the suspension of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) with immediate effect, clearing the way for the island nation’s return to international cricket.
The suspension, imposed in November 2023, stemmed from concerns about government interference in SLC’s operations. However, after months of close monitoring and internal reforms, the ICC acknowledged that SLC was back on track, no longer in breach of its membership obligations.
This is a monumental win for Sri Lanka’s cricket fraternity, paving the way for players to rejoin the international stage and compete in prestigious tournaments. It also signifies a step towards greater autonomy and good governance within SLC, promising a brighter future for cricket in the country.
The news has been met with jubilation by players, fans, and officials alike. Sri Lankan cricketers look forward to reclaiming their place on the global stage, while supporters can once again cheer on their beloved team in international matches.
This development marks a significant chapter in Sri Lanka’s cricket history, proving that commitment to good governance and autonomy can overcome challenges. With the suspension lifted, Sri Lanka Cricket is poised for a triumphant return to the international arena.
