Following Sri Lanka’s narrow defeat to Afghanistan, the aftermath unfolds as captain Wanindu Hasaranga now confronts disciplinary measures from the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his remarks concerning umpire Lindal Hannibal’s controversial decision in the final over.
Reports indicate that Hannibal has filed a complaint with the match referee regarding Hasaranga’s behavior.
Hasaranga’s actions have led to a Level 2 charge under the ICC Code of Conduct.
Having already accumulated two demerit points from prior infractions, Hasaranga faces the possibility of a suspension spanning two or more T20I matches should he be found culpable.
While the ICC has yet to formally declare the specific charges, the potential repercussions loom significantly for the Sri Lankan captain.
