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.

MUMBAI: Mohammed Shami took the lead to lead India to the World Cup semi-finals following a commanding 302 run victory at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, mirroring the thrilling display of Mohammed Siraj in the Asia Cup final. The pace trio has been unbeatable since Shami entered the Indian playing XI, and the batsmen once again gave way to their skill. With the opening delivery, Bumrah sent Pathum Nissanka back for a golden duck, swerving sharply, finding an edge along the way, and hitting the pads just in front of the stumps. Nissanka attempted to use a review to reverse the outcome, but the umpires' call in favour of Bumrah ended Nissanka's night.'Miyaan Magic' enthralled the entire Sri Lankan team in the subsequent over. He sent Dimuth Karunaratne for a golden duck at his first ball in the evening. Karunaratne attempted to flick the ball, but failed miserably, and became trapped in front of the stumps. The next player to fall in the same over was Sadeera Samarawickrama. He attempted to punch the ball in an attempt to release some pressure, but instead he found a thick outside edge that went straight to Shreyas Iyer. On the opening delivery of his second over, he struck again, sending captain Kusal Mendis back for a score of 1(10), rattling his stumps.The umpire hit the famous "Siu" celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo as soon as his finger touched the air. In the flash of an eye, a few overs were over as Charith Asalanka and Angelo Mathew got to work on the repairs. But the middle order fell apart as Shami entered the attack. He removed two wickets in a row in his opening over of the evening, forcing Dushan Hemantha and Charith Asalanka to return to the dugout on opposite balls. With the goal of taking more wickets and ensuring that the Men in Blue won quickly, Shami continued to be an attacking player. KK India moved one step closer to the semi-final position thanks to Rahul's superb decision behind the stumps. It appeared as though Chameera had missed the shot when he attempted to flick the ball. Rahul was the only one to seek for a review after finishing the catch. The ball passed the gloves and the DRS displayed a spike because Rohit chose to believe Rahul's gut feeling. Umpire Chris Brown was even confused by the DRS outcome. By getting beyond Mathews' protection and cutting the stump bails, Shami grabbed his fourth victim of the evening and finished with a score of 12. With the manner that Shami was bowling, another wicket was probably not far off. After four overs, Kasun Rajitha fell for 14(17), ending Shami's chase for a wicket and earning him his second five-for of the 2017 World Cup.With a stunning 302 run victory at the end of the game, Ravindra Jadeja got the last wicket. Earlier in the innings, India amassed a score of 357/8 because to action-packed efforts from Virat Kohli (88), Shreyas Iyer (82) and Shubman Gill (92). Even though Dilshan Madhushanka took five wickets, the Indian squad was still able to score a huge amount of runs. Brief Score: Sri Lanka 55 (Kasun Rajitha 14; Mohammed Shami 5-18, Mohammed Siraj 3-16) against. India 357/8 (Shubman Gill 92, Virat Kohli 88, Dilshan Madushanka 5-80).
