Six-match ban for Sri Lanka opener Gunathilaka

Colombo: Sri Lanka’s cricket board on Friday slapped a six-match ban on batsman Danushka Gunathilaka for breaching player rules as police investigated the alleged rape of a Norwegian woman in his hotel room.
Police said Gunathilaka was not an accused, but a cricket board hearing found him guilty of breaching team discipline. The incident is said to have happened in the early hours of Sunday just before Sri Lanka completed a Test win over South Africa. (AFP)
