I'm surprised it's not BCB.

Where do they draw the line? BCB is headed by member of parliament and it’s obviously going to change under another gov and so on. I don’t know about other countries and their procedures while selecting board head.

I think ICC waited for their last match to be played in WC before taking the decision. ICC have to be extremely careful. We don’t want to see people losing interest in cricket in SL. They still got the best school cricket system to my knowledge.

Pretty sure this is the case.The cynic in me thinks its some of the previous SLC board guys calling in a favor from ICC.
Having said that, I think the decision to suspend the SLC is completely acceptable. If these fools cannot do things properly, maybe they shouldn't be doing it at all. I hope this results in a proper clear out but I wouldn't count on it.
Cricket has given us a lot over the last 20 years and I'm grateful for that. It's been a much-needed distraction during times of civil war, corruption, and economic desolation. If this is the end, then so be it. C'est la vie.

If you read the article it seems like the current SLC board has asked for this suspension, weird as that may sound. They've been suspended for political interference - the current board wants that to be true so the politicians stop trying to meddle with things and let the board do its actual job.The cynic in me thinks its some of the previous SLC board guys calling in a favor from ICC.

Actually it is Shammi de Silva who has requested for the move.
In Sri Lanka rulers, opposition and professionals never agree on a subject. Here 222 out of 225 MP s are for dissolution. 90% of former players are for it. It should tell the ICC that there is something bigger than political interference. Shammi de Silva just asked or a favor from his masters.
I think this ban should run till SLC runs dry of money (which can happen in months). SLC officials were spending on female es cor ts instead of cricket. SL MPs are corrupt, but SLC guys take it to a another level. A well known book keeper pulls the threads/ When SLC runs out of money then we can rebuild. We may lose a lot of players, especially like Chamari Atapattu, but SL governmenmt should not try to overturn the ban. Instead they should try to throw the book keeper and his cronies in the jail instead.

Well with funds allocated for the purpose don't see an issue. However the funds allocated for uplifting cricket is spent on women it is a problem..
