Sri Lanka Cricket has reversed its previous stance and will now accept Right to Information requests, according to Cricket Transformation Committee Chairman Eran Wickramaratne, as part of broader governance reforms.

Sri Lanka Cricket has shifted its approach to transparency by now accepting Right to Information (RTI) requests from the public, a significant departure from the previous administration's position. Cricket Transformation Committee Chairman Eran Wickramaratne announced the change, noting that the former leadership had maintained the organization was not subject to the RTI Act and therefore exempt from disclosure requirements.

Wickramaratne attributed much of the suspicion surrounding the cricket administration to the lack of publicly available information. He argued that greater transparency would help address concerns about how the organization is managed and its finances are handled. "If the information is available, many of these problems do not arise," he stated, emphasizing that opening records to public scrutiny was essential for rebuilding trust.

Beyond information access, the transformation process is examining the organization's financial management, governance structure, and personnel qualifications. A new constitution for Sri Lanka Cricket has been prepared through consultations with stakeholders and submitted to the government, with plans to present it to Cabinet and Parliament.

Wickramaratne stressed that the reforms aim to establish sound governance while preventing political interference in cricket administration and team selection. He indicated that reforming the sport would require systemic improvements starting from the school level, including facility upgrades. Former cricketers Kumar Sangakkara, Sidath Wettimuny, and Roshan Mahanama are contributing to the reform efforts. Wickramaratne also noted that Sri Lanka will pursue additional Test match opportunities to strengthen the national team's schedule.
