Deadline for AGM is January 26 2016…..

Chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket’s interim committee Sidath Wettimuny yesterday put an end to rising speculation about the election of office bearers to the sport’s Maitland Place head office, saying the ICC has given them time to hold elections before 26 January 2016.
“What the ICC told us is ideally, obviously they would like us to have elections by October this year,” Wettimuny told reporters at a media briefing last afternoon, after having attended the most recent ICC board meeting in Barbados over the weekend.
“They have also written to us, if not latest before their (ICC) meeting in January on the 26th. That is the correct situation. If we go beyond that period then they will have to start taking further action. It was all about this timeline and we will keep to it. But, other than that, there is no issue.”
The SLC interim committee chairman clarifying to the press of his recent attendance at the ICC board meeting in the Caribbean said it was like any other business.
“Observer status only means that if there is a vote, you cannot vote. And I am told that for the last donkey’s years there hasn’t been a vote. But, other than that I participated just like a normal member. When they mean observer you just don’t remain silent for the meeting. We participate just like anybody else. Have discussions and exchange ideas and there is no indifference towards anybody.”
Asked what consequences it would face if SLC fails to hold elections by the January deadline, the former Sri Lanka opener said it could mean from holding an inquiry to a suspension.
“But, I am confident that before the January deadline, that there would be scope to hold an election. I had an exchange of opinion with the ICC Chairman and our goodwill and relations with the ICC remains, excellent.”
Wettimuny said the ICC has already released 5.3 million dollars and the Dubai-based world body has promised to release the balance 6 million dollars with SLC having informed the ICC they would prefer to receive it on a systematic basis by December 2015.
