Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya has been banned from cricket for two years for two breaches of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Code.

Jayasuriya, a former World Cup winner and a popular figure in Sri Lanka, admitted to breaching Article 2.4.6 by refusing to co-operate with an ongoing ICC investigation into corruption in Sri Lankan cricket.

In addition, he was charged for “obstructing or delaying” the same investigation by “concealing, tampering with or destroying any documentation or other information that may be relevant to that investigation” as stated in Article 2.4.7.
