The Sri Lanka Cricket Transformation Committee initiated a series of structural and domestic reforms intended to rebuild the organization. These measures included drafting a new constitution, reducing the number of Major Tier A domestic clubs from 14 to 10, and extending the Major Club Tier A League Tournament to four days to improve Test cricket preparation. Technical and financial improvements were also proposed, such as recruiting former ICC umpires, restructuring sports medicine, and cutting expenditures.

Following these announcements, a Bill proposing a statutory framework for the governance of Sri Lanka Cricket was officially published in the Government Gazette. The proposed legislation seeks to establish the organization as a body corporate with a 14-member board composed of seven Independent Directors and seven Elected Directors. To promote transparency, the Bill introduces eligibility restrictions for certain politicians, journalists, and media owners, while mandating audited accounts and annual reports to be submitted to Parliament.
