Sri Lanka's full membership status of the ICC is not threatened by the ongoing cricket board crisis according to a report in the Daily Mirror today.

There had been speculation that Sri Lanka's ICC status had been jeopardised by the Sports Ministers decision to dissolve the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL) and appoint an Interim Committee.

Mark Harrison, however, stated yesterday that: "I can confirm that Sri Lanka has not been suspended by the ICC. The governance of Sri Lankan cricket is a domestic matter."

Nevertheless, Harmission admitted that the ICC is seeking legal advice, most probably with regard to the status of Thilanga Sumithapala, the head of the dissolved cricket board, who still remains an Executive Director of the ICC. According to the Articles and Memorandum of Association Executive Director's can only be removed from the board if they resign or are removed by the body that appointed them, in this case the BCCSL, which is no longer functioning.

Harrison said: "The situation is currently under legal consideration and the ICC is unable to comment any further."
