Sri Lanka trio admit delaying play

Friday, 22 June 2018 16:00

Three members of the Sri Lanka cricket team have admitted a "serious law breach" after they delayed play during the drawn second Test against West Indies.

Captain Dinesh Chandimal, coach Chandika Hathurusinghe and manager Asanka Gurusinha confessed their collusion to the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The enforced delay was in protest over Chandimal's ban for ball-tampering on the second day. The 28-year-old will appeal against his one-match suspension on Friday.

The ICC said the two-hour delay on day three was "contrary to the spirit of the game".
