The Sri Lanka Cricket Board at an Executive Meeting held on Monday, has given all nominees seeking election to office at the 50th annual general meeting, time till Friday (March 13) to submit their respective qualifications in cricket.
Exempt from this rule are the treasurer and the assistant treasurer according to the Cricket Board constitution Section 11 (f).
The ExCo will meet on Monday (March 16) to shortlist the nominees who are qualified to seek office before sending it up for ratification to the Sports Minister. It will be circulated amongst its membership thereafter.
According to a Sports Ministry release, all nominees should conform to Section 18 (a) of the Cricket Board where the definition of major tournaments have been laid down.
The 'Daily News' reliably understands that the major tournaments laid down by the Cricket Board and gazetted by the Sports Minister on November 1, 1997 will be taken into consideration in this instance, as time is insufficient to go into detail and accept the recent reclassification of the major tournaments by the Cricket Board.
The AGM of the Cricket Board is scheduled to be held at its headquarters on March 29. - [S.T.]
