ICC’s Chief Executive David Richardson reacting swiftly to Tuesday’s Sri Lankan media reports about the impending appointment of an interim committee to run SLC affairs, emailed a stern warning that detailed the repercussions Sri Lanka will face if politicians start interfering with the autonomy of SLC.
In the mail headlined “Apparent appointment of interim committee to run Sri Lanka Cricket” that has been forwarded to all SLC Exco members, Richardson makes it clear that Sri Lanka would face suspension from ICC in case the government arbitrarily takes steps to appoint an interim committee without any proven misdeeds by the elected SLC office bearers.
