HARARE, May 16: Zimbabwe batsman Dion Ebrahim has been suspended for one Test for his comments regarding Sri Lanka off-spinner Muralitharan. Ebrahim was the recipient of a surprise orthodox leg-break from Muralitharan on the first day of the second Test in Bulawayo on Friday.
"That was the first legal delivery he bowled, that's my personal opinion," Ebrahim told Reuters after the close of play. Sri Lanka accused Ebrahim of bringing the game into disrepute, and ICC match referee Mike Procter found him guilty at a hearing on Sunday.
"Ebrahim has been suspended for one Test match," the media manager of the ZCU, Lovemore Banda, told Reuters.
