The SLC has been asked to make an appearance before the committee on 14 November, COPE Chairman Prof. Ranjith Bandara stated.

The governing body fell victim to a series of nefarious allegations recently, with Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe too, claiming that SLC had spent over Rs. 34 million as fees for lawyers alone, while also alleging that a group of officials made efforts to flee the country, after a purported fund transfer of $ 2 million.

A joint proposal regarding the removal of the office bearers of SLC brought forth by the Government and the Opposition, was also passed unanimously in Parliament without a vote on Thursday (9 November), following a 7-hour Parliamentary debate on the matter.

The proposal expected to pass the stance that the office bearers of Sri Lanka Cricket should step down and a new legislation for the cricket administration is needed to be passed through a new Act in order to maintain a corruption-free, transparent cricket governance.
