New Sri Lanka cricket constitution on cards

Colombo, Dec 3: Following the unceremonious axing of Roshan Ranasinghe as Sports Minister, you expected a few celebrations at Maitland Place. However, the celebrations have been muted. While most Sports Ministers had played ball with SLC, Ranasinghe had turned out to be the cricket establishment’s bete noire.
So, at the moment the priority seems to be to lift the ICC ban. Once the ban is lifted the other course of action will be mooted.Interestingly, the court is expected to give a verdict on the appointment of the Interim Committee by the former Minister of Sports. SLC had taken a stay order from the court preventing the Interim Committee from functioning. The next move depends on the verdict to be given on Tuesday.
Retired Supreme Court Judge K.T. Chithrasiri had presented a comprehensive new constitution for Sri Lanka Cricket after a court ruling that gave the green light for amending the constitution. (Agencies)
