Forthcoming Annual Elections For BCCSL

18 December 1996


The annual elections of the Sri Lanka Cricket Board is due to take place within the first quarter of next year. It will be interesting to see who will become the country's new cricket chief at the 49th annual general meeting of the BCCSL which is expected to take place in March.

In a stunning reversal of voting, Upali Dharmadasa edged out former president Ana Punchihewa by a wafer thin margin of five votes to become the BCCSL chief.

Dharmadasa received 63 votes to Punchihewa's 58 in one of the most closely contested elections for the Cricket Board's presidency at the last AGM held in March, 1996.
