Former Sri Lanka Cricket president Shammi Silva and ex-secretary Krishantha Kapuwatta have been questioned by authorities investigating allegations of illegal assets as part of an ongoing probe into cricket administration.
Former Sri Lanka Cricket President Shammi Silva and former Secretary Krishantha Kapuwatta appeared before the Illegal Assets Investigation Division for questioning, according to officials familiar with the matter. The two former office-bearers were presented with a 36-point questionnaire covering various matters under investigation by the unit.
The summons represents an escalation in scrutiny of the pair, who departed their respective positions at Sri Lanka Cricket several months prior amid broader concerns about governance and administration within the organisation. The circumstances surrounding their resignation had generated controversy within cricket circles and among stakeholders in the sport.
Details regarding the specific nature of the allegations or the scope of the investigation remain limited. Officials have not disclosed additional information about the direction of the probe or whether other individuals connected to Sri Lanka Cricket may face similar questioning.
