More Sri Lankans in charge-list ICC INVESTIGATIONS ON SRI LANKA NEARING END View(s): View(s):More Sri Lankans will be charged under the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Anti-Corruption Code as the watchdog body edges closer to completing their months-long investigations into match fixing in Sri Lanka, a senior official told the Sunday Times. Sri Lanka cricket has been under investigation since 2017 after several former players questioned the manner in which the team conceded an ODI series to Zimbabwe at home (3-2). Former Sri Lanka skipper Sanath Jayasuriya was recently issued a two-year ban from cricket after he admitted to not cooperating with investigations — an offence under ICC’s Anti-Corruption Code. ICC Anti-Corruption Unit’s Coordinator of Investigations, Steve Richardson, has been based in Colombo since January and has gathered significant new and important intelligence. The conviction of Jayasuriya is the latest in a much broader ICC ACU inquiry into corruption in cricket in Sri Lanka.
