Sri Lanka's cricket administration is in chaos following the resignation of Shammi Silva and the entire executive committee of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). This decision, made during a special meeting, was prompted by a request from Sri Lankan president Anura Kumara Dissanayake amid rising public criticism and allegations of financial misconduct. Silva, who led SLC since 2019 and secured record revenues, faced continuous scrutiny over corruption and mismanagement. The government plans to appoint an interim committee, likely headed by former MP Eran Wickramaratne, with former cricketers Sidath Wettimuny and Roshan Mahanama possibly involved. However, the transition raises legal concerns as SLC rules require internal appointments, complicating the process. The government may invoke the Sports Law of 1973, risking violations of International Cricket Council (ICC) regulations regarding state interference. A similar situation in 2023 led to Sri Lanka's ICC suspension, resulting in funding cuts and tournament relocations. Authorities are attempting to frame the resignations as voluntary to avoid ICC sanctions, making the next few weeks critical for the future of cricket in Sri Lanka.
