Nov 10 : The ICC issued a statement announcing the suspension of Sri Lanka cricket's membership with immediate effect on November 10. The decision comes a day after Sri Lanka's World Cup 2023 campaign came to an end with a thrashing at the hands of New Zealand. In the nine games they played in the 2023 World Cup, the 1996 World Cup champions won only two. However, the problems confronting Sri Lankan cricket go beyond poor performance on the pitch. The Sri Lankan government fired the cricket board after it was accused of widespread corruption. Following a humiliating 302-run defeat against India in the World Cup 2023, Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe fired the entire cricket board.Arjuna Ranatunga, the World Cup-winning captain in 1996, has been named chairman of the interim board, which includes three judges. This would be followed by a resolution passed unanimously by the Sri Lankan parliament on November 9 calling for the sacking of the country's cricket governing body, with both the ruling and opposition parties supporting it. The ICC has now announced that it has suspended Sri Lanka's membership with immediate effect for breaching its obligations as a member. The ICC will determine the terms of the suspension in due course, but it is possible that Sri Lanka will miss the major ICC events, beginning with the 2024 World Cup."The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board has suspended Sri Lanka Cricket's membership of the ICC with immediate effect." "The ICC Board met today and determined that Sri Lanka Cricket is in serious breach of its obligations as a Member, in particular, the requirement to manage its affairs autonomously and ensure that there is no government interference in the governance, regulation and/or administration of cricket in Sri Lanka." "The conditions of the suspension will be decided by the ICC Board in due course," the International Criminal Court (ICC) said.

NOV 08, 2023 : Babar Azam was the top-ranked ODI batter in the world until Shubman Gill of India's blistering run in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. On Wednesday, the Men in Blue opener overtook the skipper of Pakistan in the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings. After an explosive start to India's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup campaign, Gill ascended to the top to dethrone Babar. He is now just the fourth player from his nation to hold the No. 1 ODI batter position, following in the footsteps of Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, and MS Dhoni.The right-hander has amassed 219 runs from six innings at the event thus far in the ongoing campaign, scoring 92 against Sri Lanka and 23 against South Africa. With eight knocks in the World Cup, the captain of Pakistan has accumulated 282 runs, ending his more than two-year reign as the world's best ODI batter. However, he is now six rating points behind Gill in second place. Virat Kohli, the previous captain, took fourth place in the rankings in the meantime. For the first time in his short but brilliant career, Gill is ranked #1, and Kohli's 543 World Cup runs propel him up three spots to fourth, one rating point ahead of South Africa's opener Quinton de Kock, who is ranked third. Among the ODI batsmen, it is noteworthy that India's Shreyas Iyer jumps from 17 to 18 overall, while Pakistan's opener Fakhar Zaman moves up three spaces to 11th and his Afghan counterpart Ibrahim Zadran moves up six spots to 12th.
