SLC Constitution Draft Handed Over to Sports Minister with 14-Member Board Proposal

The draft of the SLC constitution has now been formally handed over to the sports minister.

Key Proposals in the Draft Constitution

Proposals were made for a 14-member board along with improvements in coaching, umpiring and pitch curation at all levels.

This handover marks an important administrative step for Sri Lanka Cricket as the document reaches the relevant government authority.

Structure of the Proposed Board

The draft suggests a 14-member board as the central governing body. Such a board size is outlined clearly in the proposals submitted.

Alongside the board composition, the document focuses on strengthening foundational areas of the game.

Focus Areas for Development

Improvements in coaching, umpiring and pitch curation at all levels form a major part of the proposals.

These three areas are highlighted as priorities that need attention across different tiers of cricket in the country.

The draft constitution has been handed over along with specific recommendations for the board and developmental improvements.

Impact on Domestic Cricket

The proposed changes aim to bring structured governance through the 14-member board while addressing on-ground aspects like coaching standards, umpire training and pitch quality.

By targeting these elements at every level, the document seeks to create a more organised framework for cricket operations.

  • 14-member board as the proposed governance model
  • Enhanced coaching programmes at all levels
  • Better umpiring standards and support
  • Improved pitch curation across venues

The sports minister has received the complete draft containing these recommendations.

Further steps will depend on the review process following this handover.
