This marks his fourth consecutive term as president, and the third time he has been elected uncontested. Silva is widely seen as an ally of India’s Jay Shah, the current boss of the ICC. He had replaced Shah as the president of the Asian Cricket Council in December last year.

Silva’s tenure was marred by his clash with the then sports minister Roshan Ranasinghe in 2023.
