The ICC Board on Tuesday made the decision to relocate the upcoming men's Under-19 World Cup from Sri Lanka to South Africa. This move came 11 days after the ICC provisionally suspended the cricket body in Sri Lanka due to government interference. Interestingly, it was Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) that took the initiative to contact the ICC, notifying them about the interference of the government in the administration of cricket within the country. Tensions between SLC and the Sports Ministry have been ongoing. The government has alleged SLC officials of engaging in corruption and mismanagement.
