The members of the newly formed Cricket Technical Consultative Committee met the Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe on Thursday, it is learnt.
According to highly-placed sources in the ministry, the Minister Roshan Ranasinghe had invited all five members, Sanath Jayasuriya (Chairman of the committee), Farveez Maharoof, Charith Senanayake, Asantha de Mel and Kapila Wijegunawardene to the meeting,
“The meeting is being held to understand what the newly formed committee has in mind, what their plans are to take the game forward, particularly, when the team has to play the qualifying round matches (in Zimbabwe) for the World Cup,” one of the ministry sources confirmed before the meeting began.
In fact, Thursday’s meeting was also to brief the Minister about the meeting they had with the SLC officials and what transpired in the meeting earlier this week.
Thursday’s meeting is the third by the committee, which was formed in April.
The committee will directly provide their suggestions to the ministry and provide their roadmap ahead.
It will, however, be up to the Minister to ensure that the right suggestions are implemented by the Sri Lanka Cricket board.
The members of the committee declined to comment.
