ICC clears the air for Sri Lanka
CricInfo - 1 June 2001

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has accepted Vijay Malalasekera and Anura Tennekoon as Sri Lanka's representatives for its annual general meeting which will be held at Lord's later this month.

The air of uncertainty that hung over the country's representatives to the ICC was cleared at the ruling body's cricket committee meeting held in London recently, when ICC chief executive David Richards met Sidath Wettimuny, who represented Sri Lanka from the Interim Cricket Board.

The acceptance by ICC of Malalasekera, who heads the Interim Cricket Board, and Tennekoon, the chief executive officer, was conveyed to Wettimuny by Richards. The ICC will write to the Interim Cricket Board soon endorsing their decision.

The fears that Sri Lanka may lose its ICC Test status as claimed by certain factions opposed to the Interim Cricket Board were also allayed at the London meeting.
