Why was Sri Lanka Cricket suspended by ICC?

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has been suspended by the ICC with immediate effect because of extensive government interference in the board's administration. Though the ICC has termed the sanction a "suspension", in reality it is a warning as the ICC seeks to prevent further government interference in the running of SLC. In fact, it is understood that SLC itself had requested the suspension, in order to illustrate to Sri Lanka's government that the ICC will not tolerate further meddling on its part. "As a Full Member, it is our right to go to the ICC. The government will have to give 100% assurance that there will be no interference. Otherwise, the suspension will mean that Sri Lanka can't play cricket. You saw what happened to Zimbabwe' said ICC official
