Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage: Newly-appointed interim chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket, Eran Wickramaratne, has asserted that the ongoing administrative overhaul is aimed purely at revitalising the sport across all levels, dismissing any notion of political interference following the resignation of the previous board led by Shammi Silva.

Wickramaratne, a former Member of Parliament and investment banker, assumed charge at SLC headquarters after being appointed by Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage to lead the newly formed interim committee tasked with stabilising and reforming the governing body.

“We are here mainly tasked with how to develop the cricket sport in the country from the very school periphery to the clubs extending to the district level as well as women’s cricket, where we intend to give our full backing towards that end,” he said in an SLC release.
