Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) wishes to clarify that recent claims circulating on social media
suggesting a financial crisis within the organization are completely unfounded and misleading.
We affirm that Sri Lanka Cricket possesses sufficient financial stability to manage its
operations as well as to implement its long-term strategic initiatives.
At present, SLC is actively and successfully engaged in preparations to co-host the ICC Men’s
T20 World Cup in 2026 alongside India, and to conduct 11 matches of the ICC Women’s
Cricket World Cup 2025 scheduled for September this year.
Such comprehensive planning and execution are only possible with sound financial backing.
As part of these efforts, international cricket venues across the country are being upgraded and
refurbished to meet global standards, ensuring Sri Lanka’s readiness to host these prestigious
events while also enhancing the nation’s cricketing infrastructure.
In parallel, Sri Lanka Cricket is investing in a long-term sustainability initiative through the
implementation of a Solar Power Project across its international venues.
This ‘Green Initiative’ is designed to deliver a strong return on investment—supporting the
environment, the future of the game, and the continued financial strength of the organization.
Apart from it, the SLC is vigorously continuing to run unhindered its grass-root cricket
development program, the National Pathway Program.
Sri Lanka Cricket remains committed to transparency, progress, and the development of the
game—both locally and internationally.
