Amidst speculation of a leadership overhaul in Sri Lanka's cricket administration, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is scheduled to meet with the country's cricket chief, Shammi Silva, on Friday.
The meeting follows media reports suggesting Silva could be removed due to government plans to appoint an interim administration. Reports indicate dissatisfaction within the government, stemming from issues like player unrest and poor international performance.
Any leadership changes will need careful coordination with the ICC, considering their rules and previous suspensions during similar political moves in the sport's governance.
