Sri Lankan Cricket To Bring Back The Duo Of Niroshan Dickwella And Kusal Mendis For Bio-Bubble Violations In Durham

So far, it has been learned that while the Sri Lankans were allowed to travel in Cardiff, the same wasn’t the case in Durham as the county is witnessing a surge in covid cases. It is likely that a 3rd player is also involved, possibly Danushka Gunathilaka. Both Dickwella and Mendis will undergo isolation for 2 weeks and will be fined by the government.

The Sri Lankan Cricket Board, meanwhile, has also initiated disciplinary action against the said players after the videos of them loitering around in Durham went viral. “We have seen the videos and have started an inquiry. No team member was supposed to go out of their hotel unescorted.” source in SLC told.

The development is the last thing that Sri Lanka would have wanted given the fact they are already under the pump after having lost the T20I series 0-3 in an embarrassing manner.
