The interim administration of Sri Lanka Cricket
under the chairmanship of Arjuna Ranatunga was dissolved
by Sports Minister Gamini Lokuge yesterday bringing
to an end nearly 12 months of raging controversies which
has afflicted Sri Lanka cricket.
It was a move widely expected following constant difference
of opinion between Ranatunga and the Sports Minister
in the past six months or so. The situation came to
a head after Ranatunga decided to sack 16 employees
of Sri Lanka Cricket last week and they approached the
Minister who ordered that no decision should be taken
without first consulting him.
The Minister said the decision to dissolve the interim
committee was taken as the situation at Sri Lanka Cricket
demanded an immediate change.
The
Minister appointed his secretary S Liyanagama to oversee
the administration of Sri Lanka Cricket until such time
a decision is taken whether to call for elections or
to appoint another interim administration.
“We’ll take a decision within a week,”
said Lokuge.
