SLC cut players' salaries/retainers citing poor performance. However, the CEO's salary keeps going up. There is no such thing as performance appraisal/evaluation in this administration. It's just a bunch of good buddies given access to millions of dollars so they can go joy riding. This is why they are desperate to stay in power. It's very lucrative.

Well, then the Sports Minister is not doing his job.

That's not how it works. ICC will ban SL cricket for political interference if the minister sacks the board. Whenever he tries to take action, SLC runs to the court and ICC.

Only way to sack them is via the auditor general's report and financial crimes division. Minister has already instructed to take action.

SLC has been like this since 1996. The only difference in 2022/2023 is this minister called for a report from the auditor general and supported the petition to change the constitution. The previous ministers apart from Harin Fernando turned a blind eye or got paid to do so. There's so much money in SLC because the revenue is in USD.

Well then who is supposed to monitor their performance (regular performance reviews) with respect to progress and KPIs just like in any other job? I don’t mean fire them, I mean hold them accountable. Don’t tell me that they are answerable to no-one.

The auditor general must certainly take action wrt financial mismanagement.

In reality, they are answerable only to ICC and it's not like any other job. How do you think they have been getting away with this shit for more than 2 decades? Go back a few years, the minister could actually sack them and appoint people like Sidath to run an interim committee. Even that is difficult with ICC now.

Which leaves us with the only option - auditor general > lawsuit > prosecution.

This is why a proper constitution is needed, so you could remove people if they are not working towards the goals.

What's going to happen if Cricket AUS decides to skip conducting Sheffield Shield for a year? They will be kicked out of office. SL cricket needs a constitution like that. Their only duty at the moment is to play the club tournament and fund them. That is good enough to get the votes. They conduct the provincial tournament from time to time when media and followers complain. It's a joke.
