A Gazette notification has been issued announcing the revoking of the Stabilization Committee of Sri Lanka Rugby.
The Gazette was issued by Minister of Sports Roshan Ranasinghe dated September 25, 2023.
In July 2023, the Court of Appeal issued an interim order to halt the implementation of the Sports Minister’s gazette notification that suspended the activities of Sri Lanka Rugby (SLR) and its chairman, Rizly Illyas.
The Gazette suspending activities of SLR was issued by the Sports Minister after the World Rugby Council suspended Sri Lanka Rugby from World Rugby membership with immediate effect in May 2023.
The suspension was in response to concerns about the governance of Sri Lanka Rugby and a breach of the World Rugby Bye-Laws relating to political interference.
The newly issued Gazette notification announcing the revoking of the Stabilization Committee of Sri Lanka Rugby is as follows:
