Web Desk (July 23, 2018): Sri Lanka suspended batsman Danushka Gunathilaka from all forms of cricket before the decisive fourth day of their second Test against South Africa because of a breach of their players’ code of conduct.
According to details, a woman accused a friend of Gunathilaka of raping her in a hotel room while he was present. There is no allegation against Gunathilaka.
A police official said the alleged incident took place in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Sri Lanka won the Test in Colombo by 199 runs to complete a series victory.
Sri Lanka Cricket release said, “the decision to suspend the player was taken following an initial inquiry conducted by Sri Lanka Cricket, after the team management reported that the player have violated the ”Code of Conduct’.” The offence, for now, is understood to be a breach of curfew during the ongoing Test against South Africa.
