SportSri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is on the verge of imposing bans on all 22 players, coaches and managers of two teams found guilty of ‘misconduct’ in a domestic match-fixing inquiry that ended recently. According the Executive Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket which met on Saturday (16) evening endorsed the recommendation of the Tournament Committee. However, it is interesting to note that administrators of both clubs--who are part of the current SLC Executive Committee--have been let off on grounds that there was no evidence against them. During the third and final day of the controversial game, resuming from the overnight score of 180 for two in 45 overs, Panadura SC went on to post 423 all out in 68 overs. In reply, Kalutara PCC posted 197 runs in their second innings in 22 overs at a breathtaking average of 8.6.
