Lankan curator suspended for not cooperating with ICC probe

Sri Lankan pitch curator Jayananda Warnaweera was on Wednesday suspended by the ICC for three years after he “failed” to cooperate in an ongoing anti-corruption investigation against him. “The International Cricket Council today announced that it has suspended Galle International Stadium curator Jayananda Warnaweera for three years after he failed to cooperate with the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit in investigation,” the ICC said in a statement.

Warnaweera was charged with an offence under Article 2.4.6 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code, which relates to “failing, without compelling justification, to cooperate with any reasonable investigation carried out by the ACU in relation to possible breaches of the Anti-Corruption Code, including failure to provide information requested by the ACU that may be relevant to  the investigation.”
