How Sri Lanka Cricket Got 'ICC Exception' For International Participation Despite Suspension
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) president Shammi Silva has made a "fervent appeal" to the members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) board members to "carve out an exception" that allowed Sri Lanka to play international cricket despite getting suspended. Earlier in the month, SLC was suspended by ICC following a political slugfest in SL after the introduction of an interim committee led by Arjun Ranatunga by the Sri Lanka Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe, who also suspended the entire SLC board following a heavy loss to India in the Cricket World Cup and a disappointing tournament overall, which saw them win only two matches out of nine and also miss out on ICC Champions Trophy 2025 slot.
