COLOMBO: Sanath Jayasuriya has been banned for two years from all cricket-related activity by the ICC’s anti-corruption unit. This is in response to the former Sri Lanka captain refusing to co-operate with an investigation concerning corruption in the country. Last October, the former World Cup winner was charged by the ACU with two counts of breaching the ICC anti-corruption code. The charges included refusal to cooperate with an ACU investigation, obstructing or delaying the investigation including concealing, tampering with or destroying any documentation or other information which may be relevant. Its general manager, Alex Marshall, told ESPNcricinfo that the extensive investigation was a serious attempt to break the cycle of corruption that had enveloped Sri Lanka cricket.
