Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs has appointed an interim committee, headed by former Sri Lanka captain Arjuna Ranatunga, to oversee the operations of Sri Lanka Cricket.
This move comes after the suspension of the executive committee due to allegations of irregularities, corruption, misconduct, and dereliction of duties and responsibilities.
