This corrupt guy who has been ruining Sri Lankan cricket was rewarded by his supporter and corrupt President of ACC who has been appointed President of ICC by allowing him to take over the position of President of ACC.

There is a conflict of interest in this appointmant where Sri L anka Cricket for some mysterious reason is run by the former Secretary of the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) Jay Shah) who is also the current President of the ICC who has immediately rewarded shammi Silva the President of Sri Lanka Cricket in return this high position as the President od the ICC. The very close links between Shammi Siva of SLC and Jay Shah of BCCI came for scrutiny under the former several times but was swept under the carpet without a thorough investigation because billions of dollars was changing hands.

Well done. Great achievement for a lankan. A lot of people critisized him saying he was corrupt because he was supporting NPP during the election. Now , foreigners have recognised him and rewarded him.

Sri Lankan voters have got rid of a corrupt Government and installed an honest President, but Sri Lankans cannot get rid of corrupt President of SLC and ACC.

Bird's of a feather flock together, took SLC to the bins, now this could be the beginning of the end of ACC. Uncredible and corrupt to the core.
