US EditionFormer Sri Lankan domestic cricketer Saliya Saman banned under Anti-Corruption Code
Saliya Saman was found guilty of multiple breaches including match-fixing attempts and offering rewards during the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 League, with his ban backdated to September 2023.
- On Friday, the ICC announced Saliya Saman, former Sri Lankan domestic cricketer, has been banned from all cricket for five years, backdated to 13 September 2023.
- In September 2023, Saman was among eight charged under the ECB Anti-Corruption Code for breaches during the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 League, disrupted by the DACO.
- In its ruling, the Tribunal found Saman guilty under Articles 2.1.1, 2.1.3, and 2.1.4 of the ECB's anti-corruption code.
- Because the ban is backdated to 13 September 2023, when Saman was provisionally suspended, he has already served two years of the five-year ban.
- With this sanction, the panel concluded his actions deliberately aimed to manipulate competition integrity, and timely intervention by the ICC prevented breaches.
