Ball-tampering hearing
Print Edition
Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal has pleaded not guilty to ball-tampering charges, prompting a hearing into the episode after the conclusion of the ongoing second test against West Indies, the International Cricket Council has said. The angry Sri Lankans initially refused to take the field on Saturday and later agreed to play “under protest” after umpires Aleem Dar and Ian Gould changed the ball and awarded West Indies five penalty runs in the contest in St Lucia. Chandimal, 28, was charged on Sunday with a breach of the article 2.2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct which deals with unfair altering of the condition of the ball. “Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal has pleaded not guilty... and, as such, Javagal Srinath of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees will hold a hearing following the conclusion of the St Lucia test...” the ICC said in a statement. The same charge was levelled against Australia batsman Cameron Bancroft, who was caught on camera rubbing a piece of sandpaper on the ball against South Africa in March. Sri Lanka was 334 for eight in its second innings at the end of the fourth day, leading by 287 runs after the hosts were dismissed for 300.
