The ICC Board on Monday (02) agreed to allow a representative of the Sri Lankan Sports Minister to sit as an observer to the ICC Board and Full Council, but requested that elections for Sri Lanka Cricket are held within six-months, failing which SLC’s membership status would be considered.
The decision was announced when the ICC concluded its five-day Annual Conference in Dublin.
At the conference the ICC also got strong support for strengthening the ICC Code of Conduct.
“It has been a productive week of meetings here in Dublin and it has been good to have all ICC members in attendance at our 75th Annual Conference. I and my fellow Board Directors were unanimous in supporting the recommendations of the Cricket Committee and Chief Executives’ Committee to drive improved behaviour across our sport. It is vital that there is a strong deterrent to both players and administrators to ensure we have high standards of conduct in our game. We have more than a billion fans and we must not give any of them any reason to doubt the high levels of integrity within our sport,” ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar said.
