Former Sri Lankan cricketer Sachithra Senanayake was given a global travel restriction on Monday (14 August) by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court.
The Special Investigations Unit of the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs was given the go-ahead yesterday (13 August) by the Attorney General’s Department to press criminal charges for alleged match-fixing against the former national team member.
The 38-year-old allegedly called two cricketers competing in the inaugural Lanka Premier League (LPL) in 2020 and urged them to ‘fix’ games throughout the competition. He was calling from Dubai.
From November 27 to December 17, 2020, Hambantota, Sri Lanka, hosted the Lanka Premier League.
