Fernando talked about that he sought the ICC’s “observations” on an audit report investigating alleged corruption by the board in the course of the T20 World Cup in Australia final yr.
In November, Roshan Ranasinghe, Fernando’s predecessor, dismissed the elected board and put in an interim panel led by Arjuna Ranatunga, Sri Lanka’s 1996 World Cup-winning captain.
The ICC suspended Sri Lanka because of this, saying the board had failed to forestall political interference within the administration of the sport.
