SLC says if the trio ends up with a disciplinary breach within the next two years, the remainder of the suspension would also kick in
“The latest decision was taken following a request made by the three players to Sri Lanka Cricket to lift the ban imposed on them, pursuant to the conclusion of the LPL 2021,” an SLC media release stated. “Based on such request, Sri Lanka Cricket obtained a report from the doctor appointed by SLC to provide counselling for the three players during their period of suspension.”
They will now be eligible for selection in domestic cricket as well as for the national side.
SLC stated that if the three players end up with a disciplinary breach within the next two years, then the remainder of the suspension would also kick in, which in their case is a little over six months. “The lifted suspension will remain suspended for a period of two years, during which the three players’ conduct will be closely monitored by the SLC,” the release added.
“Accordingly, the three players will be able to engage in playing domestic cricket with immediate effect and will also be available for national selection, subject to complying with mandatory fitness standards,” the release concluded.
