Former Sri Lanka Cricket captain Sanath Jayasuriya has been banned from all cricket for two years after he admitted of breaching two counts of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.

ICC said in a statement today that Mr Jayasuriya, admitted to being in breach of the provisions for failure or refusal to cooperate in investigations and obstructing or delaying it.
It said the conviction demonstrates the importance of participants in cricket cooperating with investigations and these rules are essential to maintain the integrity of sport.
The statement said the conviction is the latest part of a much broader ICC investigation into corruption in cricket in Sri Lanka. It said the ICC recently held an amnesty in relation to Sri Lankan Cricket resulting in eleven players and other participants coming forward with new information.
Sri Lankan cricket has been under investigation by ICC for last few years and Mr. Jayasurya was served a notice few months back. The former captain served as chair of selection committee during 2016-17 during which team performance dipped and has remained uneven since then.
