And in Sri Lankan news, Sanath Jayasuriya has been banned for two years by the ICC's anti-corruption unit.
'The ACU found Jayasuriya guilty on two counts: failure to cooperate with the investigation, failure to provide accurate and timely documentation, obstructing or delaying the probe by concealing, tampering with, or destroying any documentation or other information that may be relevant to that investigation and/or that may be evidence or may lead to the discovery of evidence of corrupt conduct under the Anti-Corruption Code.

It is clear that there were no Corruption charges, Betting charges or Misuse of Inside Information charges levelled against me under the Code." '
