Chandimal gets 1-test ban

Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal has been banned for one test match after he was found guilty of changing the condition of the ball during the drawn second test against West Indies. Chandimal admitted at a hearing after the second test ended at Gros Islet on Monday that he put something in his mouth during the second day’s play. However, he said he couldn’t recall what exactly it was before applying his saliva onto the ball on Friday. Match referee Javagal Srinath handed Chandimal the maximum punishment available under the ICC code of conduct for ball-tampering, including a fine of 100 percent of his match fee. Chandimal will miss the third and final test against West Indies, a day-night match starting in Barbados on Saturday. West Indies won the first test by 226 runs.
