Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) says it is unaware of any move by the government to request the resignation of its Executive Committee (ExCo) members, including President Shammi Silva.

“We have also seen some reports in the media. But we have not been notified of anything. We are not aware of anything of that nature,” SLC Chief Executive Officer Ashley de Silva said at a press conference.

His remarks come in response to questions raised by journalists on reports circulating that the government had asked the SLC ExCo to step down, with particular focus on President Shammi Silva.
