The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The ICC has revoked Sri Lanka's hosting rights for the 2027 Women's Champions Trophy and assigned the inaugural tournament to India.
- The move follows political interference in Sri Lanka Cricket, with the board currently run by a government-appointed interim committee, which violates ICC rules.
- The report says Sri Lanka stands to lose around $20 million (roughly Rs 188 crore), plus tourism, business and global-profile earnings.
- This is not the first time — in 2023 the ICC suspended Sri Lanka Cricket over similar interference and moved the 2024 Under-19 Men's World Cup from Sri Lanka to South Africa.
What to watch next
- Whether Sri Lanka holds its long-pending cricket board elections and resolves the political interference issue
- Whether further ICC hosting rights or events are moved away from Sri Lanka if the issues remain unresolved
- Details from the ICC or BCCI on venues and schedule for the 2027 Women's Champions Trophy in India
