The SLC Transformation Committee has submitted a draft constitution to the Sports Ministry aimed at overhauling the organization's governance structure through revised voting mechanisms and eligibility criteria.
Sri Lanka Cricket is set for significant institutional changes following the submission of a new draft constitution by the Transformation Committee to the Sports Ministry. The proposed reforms are intended to strengthen governance standards, enhance transparency, and increase accountability across the organization's operations.
The most substantive changes involve restructuring how voting rights are allocated within Sri Lanka Cricket. According to Sidath Wettimuny, a member of the Transformation Committee, the revised framework would reduce the number of clubs eligible to vote in SLC elections from the current level to 39. Rather than a uniform voting system, the new approach would distribute voting rights based on the actual participation of clubs and associations in official Sri Lanka Cricket tournaments.
Under the proposed model, member associations that compete in Tier 1 tournaments would receive two votes each. For other associations not participating in these top-tier competitions, voting rights would be granted according to their individual contributions to cricket development. The committee has also designed a separate mechanism to address associations that are currently inactive in cricket-related activities, ensuring a more participation-based governance structure.
The draft constitution now awaits consideration by the Sports Ministry, with the reforms expected to create a voting system more closely aligned with active involvement in the sport rather than historical or organizational standing alone.
