Former Sri Lanka pacer Nuwan Zoysa banned from all cricket for 6 years

Former Sri Lanka pacer and coach of the A team Nuwan Zoysa was on Wednesday banned from all cricket for six years after being found guilty of trying to fix matches and failing to disclose corrupt approaches from a suspected Indian bookie.

The ban on Zoysa, 42-year-old, is backdated to October 31, 2018, when he was provisionally suspended.

"Nuwan played 125 matches for Sri



Lanka, attending a number of anti-corruption sessions during a decade-long international career. In his role as a national coach, he should have acted as a role model. Instead, he became involved with a corrupter and attempted to corrupt others.

“Contriving to fix a game betrays the basis of sporting principles. It will not be tolerated in our sport," Alex Marshall, ICC General Manager, Integrity Unit said.
