The International Cricket Council (ICC) has moved the Under 19 World Cup to South Africa from Sri Lanka, according to a report by International Cricket Website, CricBuzz.
CricBuzz reported that the decision has been taken by the ICC board given the administrative uncertainty in Sri Lanka Cricket.
The report further said the ICC is currently meeting in Ahmedabad, and after detailed deliberations, the board has decided to uphold the November 10 decision to suspend the SLC.
“The board said that while cricket involving the island team will continue uninterrupted, the suspension, however, will not be overturned.
“It was a unanimous decision by the board that the suspension cannot be lifted. Cricket in the country will continue as normal,” a well-placed source told Cricbuzz.
Shammi Silva, the ousted president of the ICC, reportedly attended the board meeting, held at ITC Narmada in Ahmedabad on Tuesday (Nov 21).
However, the ICC is yet to release an official statement on the decisions taken concerning the Under 19 World Cup. (NewsWire)
