Sri Lanka cricket trio face long bans for virus breach
A panel that investigated a breach of the bio-secure coronavirus bubble during Sri Lanka's limited over series in England has recommended bans of up to two years for three players accused, cricket official sources said, according to AFP.
The five-member panel told Sri Lanka Cricket that vice-captain Kusal Mendis and opening batter Danushka Gunathilaka should be barred from all forms of the game for two years, the sources said.
Niroshan Dickwella — also seen in social media videos enjoying a night out on the eve of the first one-day international — was recommended an 18-month ban, according to sources.
