Investigators from the International Cricket Council’s Anti-Corruption Unit have met with Sri Lanka’s prime minister and president as they carry out investigations into corruption allegations on the island.
"We are currently in Sri Lanka as part of our ongoing investigations into serious allegations of corruption in cricket in the country," said Alex Marshall from the ICC.
"The enquiries are continuing so it would not be appropriate to comment further, but I can confirm that we have, at their request, provided a detailed briefing to the Sri Lankan President, Prime Minister and Sports Minister. We are receiving full support from the Competent Authority currently in place at Sri Lanka Cricket whilst elections for the SLC Board are pending."
The investigations are taking place as the English cricket team look to begin their tour of Sri Lanka later this month.
Whilst international investigators from the International Cricket Council have received “full support” from Sri Lanka, senior government leaders continue to speak out against allowing international investigators in to hold soldiers accountable for war crimes committed by the Sri Lankan military.
