Dambulla: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Wednesday banned off-spinner Suraj Randiv for a match and forfeited the match fees of opening batsman Tillekaratne Dilshan for acting in an unsporting way that robbed Indian batsman Virender Sehwag of a deserving century in the third one-day international.
"Suraj Randiv has been suspended from the next match against New Zealand on August 19, 2010 and his match fee for the IND Vs. SL match on August 16, 2010, has been forfeited. Dilshan’s inference in this issue has resulted in his match fee for the same match also being forfeited," SLC said in a statement.
The board also warned captain Kumar Sangakkara and told him to ensure that such acts are not reapeated in future.
"Furthermore, Captain Kumar Sangakkara, too has been advised to ensure that repetition of such incidents do not occur, where disrepute will be brought to the game of Cricket, affecting the spirit of the game," the statement read.
SLC said that it is extremely proud of its team and their achievements over the years.
"It is of paramount importance to maintain the discipline of the Gentlemen’s game, especially with Sri Lanka Cricket being winners of the ‘ICC Spirit of the Game’ award for two consecutive years.
"As such Sri Lanka Cricket has taken a stern decision against Suraj Randiv and T M Dilshan, for their actions during the 3rd ODI of the Micromax Tri-Series held on August 16, 2010, between India, in Dambulla, wherein Virender Sehwag was deprived of scoring his century due to the delivery of a no ball by Suraj Randiv," the statement said.
