[September 17, 2003 - 8.00 GMT]

The Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL) converted its governing body into a corporation on Sunday September 14th. The board will now called ‘Sri Lanka Cricket’.

 “By renaming the board we are falling in line with the thinking in other boards and within the International Cricket Council management,” Mohan de Silva, secretary of the BCCSL said.

The new name, and logo will be launched officially on September 22, when Ehsan Mani, ICC’s new president makes a courtesy visit to Sri Lanka.

A statement issued by the board said, a commercial arm named ‘Sri Lanka Cricket Incorporated’ has also been set up to look after the business interests of the game.

“The board of management of Sri Lanka Cricket Incorporated will still be responsible to the BCCSL constitution under the new structure,” explained de Silva. “But the new structure will have significant financial benefits, such as reductions in taxation and duty.”
