Colombo, Sri Lanka – The International Cricket Council (ICC) has imposed a ban on Sri Lankan spinner Praveen Jayawickrama from participating in all forms of cricket. This decision comes after Jayawickrama admitted to violating the ICC’s anti-corruption code.
Jayawickrama has been accused of breaching three anti-corruption rules, one of which involved failing to report attempts made to him regarding match-fixing. The ban will prevent him from playing in any cricket matches for the duration of the suspension.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about corruption within the sport, as cricketing bodies worldwide continue to crack down on any activities that undermine the integrity of the game. The ICC’s commitment to maintaining fair play is evident in their swift action against violations of this nature.
