January 10, Colombo (LNW): The Chief Executive Officer of the International Cricket Council (ICC), Geoff Allardice, has arrived in Sri Lanka against the backdrop of the ICC’s ban imposed on Sri Lanka Cricket.

In a significant move towards resolving the issue, Allardice engaged in a comprehensive discussion with Sports Minister Harin Fernando today (10).
