Sri Lankan cricket star Danushka Gunathilaka has been arrested and charged over the alleged rape of an Australian woman. Gunathilaka was escorted by police from the Sri Lankan team hotel on Sussex Street, in Sydney, before 1am on Sunday. NSW Police confirmed a Sri Lankan national was arrested, alleging the pair met on a dating app. Gunathilaka was injured three weeks ago and did not play for Sri Lanka in the competition but remained with the team on their tour. Sri Lanka could not have advanced in the T20 even if it had beaten England on Saturday.
