Sri Lanka’s cricket landscape has been rattled by recent developments, as Sri Lanka Cricket Secretary Mohan De Silva has tendered his resignation. This follows the call from Sri Lankan Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe for not only De Silva but also the entire Sri Lanka Cricket Executive Committee and the Selection Committee to step down in the wake of the national team’s recent defeats.

The Sri Lanka Cricket Team’s performance in international matches, especially in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has been a source of concern and disappointment for cricket enthusiasts and sports officials in the country. Minister Ranasinghe’s call for the resignations is seen as a response to the team’s struggles and the need for a fresh start.

The situation has escalated to the point where two civil activists have taken matters into their own hands. They have initiated a protest in front of the Sri Lanka Cricket headquarters, demanding the immediate resignation of the executive committee. This demonstration underscores the depth of frustration and concern among cricket fans and stakeholders regarding the current state of Sri Lankan cricket.

Sri Lanka Cricket Will Have To Start From The Scratch

Cricket holds a special place in Sri Lanka’s culture, and the national team’s performance is a matter of pride and passion for the country. Recent defeats have left supporters disheartened, prompting calls for accountability and change at the administrative and selection levels.

The resignations of key figures in Sri Lankan cricket, including Mohan De Silva and the executive committee, could pave the way for a fresh start. This move is expected to be a crucial step in addressing the issues that have plagued the national team’s performance. It may also provide an opportunity for a comprehensive review and reevaluation of Sri Lanka Cricket’s strategies, structures, and leadership.

Cricket fans, as well as those with a vested interest in the sport, are eagerly awaiting further developments in this unfolding story. The outcome of these resignations and any subsequent actions taken by Sri Lanka Cricket will not only impact the immediate future of the national team but will also shape the long-term trajectory of Sri Lankan cricket, with the hope of revitalizing the team’s performance and reigniting the passion of its dedicated fan base.
