Eran Wickramaratne has taken charge as the interim chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) following the resignation of Shammi Silva and his executive committee amid rising criticism over governance issues and the national team's poor performance. Wickramaratne, appointed by Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage, aims to revitalize cricket at all levels, from schools to clubs, with a strong emphasis on women's cricket. He has assembled a committee that includes notable figures such as former captains Kumar Sangakkara and Roshan Mahanama, bringing together expertise in administration, finance, and law. The restructuring comes after a turbulent period for SLC, including a suspension from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the relocation of the Under-19 World Cup, raising concerns about governance standards. Wickramaratne clarified that the committee's focus is on fulfilling its responsibilities without political agendas, and he aims for meaningful changes in the sport's governance and structure, which will be closely observed by the ICC.
