The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially restored Sri Lanka Cricket, granting permission for the nation to re-engage in international cricket events. Today’s announcement marks the end of the suspension which began last November, a consequence of significant deviations from ICC’s standards, particularly the requirement for independent cricket governance, free from governmental influence.
Throughout the suspension period, the ICC closely observed Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) efforts to rectify the issues that triggered the ban. SLC’s successful measures to address these concerns have led to this uplifting news.
With the ban now removed, Sri Lanka’s cricket scene is poised to make a triumphant return to the global stage, promising a boost in morale and excitement among cricket enthusiasts. This move signifies a fresh chapter for Sri Lanka Cricket, emphasizing self-governed and fair play in the sport.
