Colombo: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) yesterday decided to unanimously support the controversial the International Cricket Council (ICC) restructure plan. In the new shake-up of its governance and structure, much of the power rests with India, Australia and England as they contribute most to the ICC coffers.

SLC had earlier opposed the 'Big Three' plan to revamp the ICC. Sri Lanka and Pakistan were the only countries not in favour of the ICC restructure after South Africa recently pledged their support as well.
Sri Lanka decided to abstain from voting on the move during an ICC Board Meeting on February 8, along with Pakistan, after South Africa switched to vote in favour.
