ICC reprimands Jayasuriya for rules violation

  • On Monday, the International Cricket Council reprimanded Prabath Jayasuriya for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the Colombo Test against India. Jayasuriya violated Article 2.2 concerning abuse of cricket equipment.
  • After being dismissed by Manav Suthar on Monday, Jayasuriya flung his gloves and struck boundary wedges with his bat while walking to the pavilion. On-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid reported the incident.
  • Jayasuriya is the third player sanctioned in the Colombo Test, following India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sri Lanka seamer Asitha Fernando, who were fined 25 per cent of their fee and one demerit point for a heated exchange on the opening day.
  • Match referee Andy Pycroft issued one demerit point to Jayasuriya, who admitted the offense and accepted the sanction. Because this was his first violation within a 24-month period, the spinner avoided suspension.
  • Sri Lanka reached 216/7 by tea on the third day of the Colombo Test, currently trailing India by 287 runs in the ongoing World Test Championship match. The deficit underscores the team's challenging position.
