Sri Lanka Cricket’s membership of the International Cricket Council has been suspended with immediate effect because of government interference.

Alex Carey opens up on brutal axing. “The ICC Board met today and determined that Sri Lanka Cricket is in serious breach of its obligations as a Member,” it said in a statement. “In particular, the requirement to manage its affairs autonomously and ensure that there is no government interference in the governance, regulation and/or administration of cricket in Sri Lanka. “The conditions of the suspension will be decided by the ICC Board in due course.
