The Sri Lanka Basketball Federation (SLBF) is likely to be brought under a government appointment Interim Committee following allegations made by players that current office bearers are attempting to seek re-election without having to answer for irregularities and mismanagement of the sport.
It is learnt that Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa has directed the Director General of Sports Amal Edirisooriya to obtain all documents related to charges levelled against SLBF officials and hand them over to the Criminal Investigation Department for investigation.
The National Sports Council has also been directed to conduct a separate probe.(KI)
