Sri Lanka suspends official over match-fixing probe

He was accused of sharing pitch information in an ICC anti-corruption probe

Colombo: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Monday announced the suspension of Jayananda Warnaweera, a former administrator, for dodging an ICC match-fixing investigation.

Warnaweera was a member of the current interim committee governing the SLC until he was suspended last month for failing to cooperate with the ICC anti-corruption probe.

Warnaweera, a former Test medium pacer in the early 90s, headed the southern sea side stadium of Galle as its curator. He was accused of sharing pitch information in an ICC anti-corruption probe.

SLC said that Warnaweera has been suspended for two years from taking part in cricket, management and representation.
