The board will also withhold Gunathilaka’s match fee for the ongoing Test against South Africa, in addition to the suspension that will come into effect after the completion of the 2nd Test.
A SLC release said, “the decision to suspend the player was taken following an initial inquiry conducted by Sri Lanka Cricket, after the team management reported that the player have violated the ”Code of Conduct’.”
Gunathilaka’s short career has been filled with controversy, 1st when he was reprimanded for giving Tamim Iqbal a send off during the T20I tri-series and later when he was suspended for 6 white ball matches last year after he missed a training session, turned up for a match without his gear, and was found to have had a poor attitude towards training.
