LNP – SLC reduces voting members from 147 to 60 ahead of 2025 elections

Ahead of the 2025 Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) elections, SLC said that its membership at an extraordinary general meeting has decided to reduce the number of voting members from 147 to 60.

Under the new voting structure, voting rights will be determined solely by the level of cricket played by each member club, with each qualified club and association entitled to one vote.Â

SLC said that its membership at an extraordinary general meeting held on 20th December 2024 approved significant amendments to the Constitution of the SLC.

Further, in order to strengthen the transparency in financial management, the membership unanimously approved the establishment of the Audit Committee, Investment and Budget Committee and Related Party Transactions Committee.

In addition, a five-member Election Committee for Sri Lanka Cricket headed by retired Court of Appeal Judge Ms. Malanie Gunaratne has been appointed for the year 2025.

The election committee will oversee the preparations and conduct the SLC’s upcoming elections, scheduled to be held in 2025.

SLC said that this initiative is expected to create a more level playing field for cricketing stakeholders, ensuring that representation within SLC reflects merit and contribution to the development of cricket across the nation.
