Sri Lanka Cricket

Sri Lanka Cricket, formerly the Board for Cricket Control in Sri Lanka (BCCSL), is the controlling body for cricket in Sri Lanka. It operates the Sri Lankan cricket team and first-class cricket within Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka's cricket board has been run by government appointed interim committees, which has come into severe criticism from past players as well as journalist.^[3]
