Former Member of Parliament and opposition politician Eran Wickramaratne has been appointed chairman. The Committee was appointed after the Sri Lankan government removed the previous office-bearers of the SLC on Wednesday. The Committee contains only one woman out of its nine members.
Wickramaratne is understood to have left his political positions and joined the Committee as a corporate figure instead.
Transformation Committee set to overhaul governance
The old SLC constitution has been criticised for being counter-productive and granting too much power to non-cricketing institutions. There are two lawyers on the Committee as well, which suggests that the SLC Constitution could be rewritten by the Committee.
Normally, the International Cricket Council does not take kindly to government interference in board matters, but is yet to react to this issue.
In 2015, the Sri Lankan government had suspended the board's leadership and put an interim committee in place. At the time, the ICC reduced Sri Lanka to an observer member and held their funds back.
"[The Committee is] committed to absolute compliance with International Cricket Council regulations while embedding transparency, anti-corruption, and professionalism into the organisation's DNA," he said.
Pressure on Shammi Silva to leave
Following that, there was public pressure on the ousted SLC President Shammi Silva to vacate his position. People criticised the systemic imbalance in the SLC as Silva won three consecutive terms as President despite Sri Lanka being inconsistent in the field.
