According to the Colombo Magistrate’s Court’s orders, former Sri Lankan cricketer Sachithra Senanayake has been remanded till September 15 in the case brought over suspicions of match-fixing.
When Senanayake was brought before the court this afternoon (Sept. 6), Colombo Chief Magistrate Prasanna Alwis issued the pertinent order.
Senanayake was detained earlier today after allegedly turning himself in to the Special Investigations Unit of the Sports Ministry this morning.
A day after the Attorney General’s Department instructed the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs to file criminal charges against Senanayake for alleged match-fixing, as sufficient evidence has been gathered to support the charges, the Colombo Magistrates Court issued an order barring the former national player from travelling abroad.
