Sri Lanka Bans Three Stars For One Year Over Covid Breach
Sri Lanka Friday slapped a one-year international ban on three top cricketers for breaching Covid-19 regulations while on tour in England. The lengthy bans and $50,000 fines were ordered after vice-captain Kusal Mendis, opener Danushka Gunathilaka and wicket-keeper Niroshan Dickwella were seen out in Durham before a one-day international against England.
The punishment is the toughest taken by any cricket nation for breaches of the anti-coronavirus bubbles which have now become standard practice in international sport. It is also a major new blow to a team which has been in turmoil on and off the pitch in recent months.
