Randiv is sorry over Sehwag no-ball row
SRI Lanka bowler Suraj Randiv has apologized to India batsman Virender Sehwag for having denied him a century by bowling a no-ball to concede victory, according to the Sri Lanka team manager.
Anura Tennakoon said he conducted an inquiry yesterday and submitted a report to Sri Lanka Cricket for further action on the matter. He refused to disclose details of the report.
Sehwag was batting on 99 when India needed five runs to win a tri-series match in Dambulla on Monday. A ball in the 35th over went for four byes to level the scores, before Randiv bowled a no-ball. Sehwag hit a six off it but it was not added to his total because the laws of cricket count the extra run first.
"Certainly Suraj Randiv has apologized to him (Sehwag)," Tennakoon said. "I believe he made a sincere apology and must be feeling that he has done something wrong."
Sehwag accused Randiv of deliberately denying him a century against the spirit of the game. "Yes, it was done deliberately," he said. "It was not a small no-ball, not a small margin, from one foot ahead."
Sri Lanka has won International Cricket Council's "spirit of the game" award for two consecutive years.
Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal said that since India had received an apology they considered the matter closed.
