Sri Lanka cricketers Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka and Niroshan Dickwella have been suspended for bio-bubble breach in the UK as per a Cricbuzz report. The report further adds, all three cricketers are being sent back home immediately from Durham. "Sri Lanka Cricket executive committee has suspended Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka & Niroshan Dickwella for breaching the bio- bubble and they will be immediately recalled to Sri Lanka," SLC secretary Mohan De Silva said in a statement.
The announcement comes after a Twitter video showed Mendis and Dickwella in public domain, outside of the team bio-bubble. The two were seen roaming the streets in Durham after the final T20 international on Sunday night, which Sri Lanka lost. Both the players were a part of the playing XI in the match with Sri Lanka lost by massive 89 runs. Sri Lanka went down 0-3 in the T20 series that ended on Sunday. This was the island nation’s fifth straight series loss in T20 internationals since October 2020. England and Sri Lanka will now face up in the three-match ODI series, beginning Tuesday at Chester-le-Street.
