Sri Lanka’s Attorney General is expected to file objections with regard to the Court of Appeal order suspending the Interim Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket.

A Senior official from the Sports Ministry said that objections will be filed based on the resolution that was furnished and unanimously passed in parliament yesterday (09).
