In the ongoing ODI World Cup in India, Sri Lanka won only 2 out of 9 matches, ranking 9th in the points table. Consequently, they couldn’t qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan. The Sports Ministry of Sri Lanka dissolved the Sri Lanka Cricket Board following a defeat by India. An Interim Cricket Committee, led by former Sri Lanka captain Arjun Ranatunga, is now responsible for cricket operations in Sri Lanka.
