Sri Lankan cricket is going through its toughest phase currently. Reports: Sri Lanka Cricket Board is likely to be dissolved by the government over corruption charges and misuse of government funds.

The Srilanka cricket board is in a very critical condition after the investigators got to know that some of the members of SLC have used board money for their own good.

SLC spent over $107,800 approximately on the 16 members’ authority went T20 World Cup 2022

The board spent some hefty money in sending a 16 members administrators team for the T20 World Cup. The administrators were sent to have a close look at the Sri Lankan team’s performance on the biggest stage. Instead of keeping track of the progress of the team, the administrators used the money for their personal good.

The Investigation team has suggested the minister make a list of alleged spending on transport and accommodation of the 16 members cluster.

Board is also asked to seize the documents so that the worthy evidence doesn’t get destroyed in the process.

The sports minister of SLC started to take appropriate action after looking at the report

Roshan Ranasinghe is ready to take a strict decision against the accused. The SLC is however looking to dissolve the administration with their legal team.

The SLC secretory Mohan De silva gave his review after the preparation of the report. He said in an interview “We will be compelled to take legal action to protect the good name of the institution against the purported findings,”

The strict decision is taken after the poor show of the Lankan team against India in the limited-over series recently.
