    Sri Lanka’s three venues for World Cup matches to be held next year have been criticized by the ICC venue inspection team headed by Chris Tetley. The team is to take a decision whether these venues will be used for the matches. Sooriyawerea and Premadasa stadiums were to host semi-finals of the competition.

    The ICC team has expressed dissatisfaction over the state of all three Sri Lankan venues and complained that the construction work in these venues has not been completed. Regarding the preparedness of the venues the team has stated in their interim evaluation report that the venues haven’t adhered to the conditions laid down by the ICC. However, this inspection team will take a final decision whether these venues will be used or the matches will be shifted elsewhere.
