ENG Vs SL: Sri Lankan Cricketers Seen Roaming In Durham, Face Inquiry For Alleged Bio-Bubble Breach - VIDEO

Niroshan Dickwella and Kusal Mendis were seen roaming the streets in Durham after the final T20 international on Sunday.

ri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has launched an inquiry against Niroshan Dickwella and Kusal Mendis for allegedly breaching the bio-bubble during the ongoing tour of England after a purported video of them on a night out went viral on social media. (More Cricket News)

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.

SLC will investigate whether they breached the bio-bubble by going out in the night.

Reacting to the video, which was posted by a Sri Lankan fan, SLC chief Shammi Silva said, "an investigation is underway as they have breached the (code of) conduct."

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.

The defeat led to former greats such as Sanath Jayasuriya, Muttiah Muralitharan, Roshan Mahanama, Hashan Thilakaratne and Tillekaratne Dilshan expressing dismay at the poor performance.

Sri Lanka will play the first of three ODIs with England tomorrow at Chester le Street.

Sri Lankan cricket, sinking to new lows. What is with this new generation of players, who seem to be in some sort of trance, always.
 
Now this could even pose a danger to all the English players who would be competing against them.
 
SLC decides to suspend Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella & Danushka Gunathilaka for breaching the bio-bubble during England tour & recall them immediately to Sri Lanka - SLC Source
 
Honestly how brainwashed have we become to adhere to these dictatorial rules now. More people are dying of flu and Diabetes now in the UK and here we are mindless sheep continuing on this farce of social distancing and lockdown measures.

Was needed at the start but now there is no science to back it. Cases don't equal deaths anymore!
 
Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to inform that Vice-Captain Kusal Mendis, Wicket Keeper - Batsman Niroshan Dickwella, and Batsman Danushka Gunathilaka will be flown back to Sri Lanka, with immediate effect.

This decision was taken following a preliminary inquiry conducted over a Video posted on Social Media in which the said three players can be seen outside their designated hotel.

The decision to recall the players was taken by the Executive Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket, based on the ‘Manager’s Report’ on the matter.

The three players will be suspended, from all forms of cricket, until the completion of the inquiry.
 
Don't want to be making false accusations here but they look under the influence of something , how can you be so silly especially in this day of social media and camera phones everywhere is beyond me.
 
In UK, going outside and mingling with people is legally allowed now. I am not sure why the same rule should not be applicable to the cricketers and what rule SL players have broken. As long as they do the covid testing and comes negative, this is a non issue.

They're in a biosecure bubble that they're not meant to be leaving, they're not allowed to touch a ball thrown back by a member of the crowd let alone go on nights out to cities miles away from their accommodation.
 
Gunathilaka and Dickwella have a history of disciplinary problems. Sad that they haven't learned still.

Then they shouldn't have come on the tour. They knew what the deal was and it's good to see they're being sent home for such ridiculously stupid and irresponsible behaviour.

Restrictions have calmed down in the UK, after a while everyone gets tired of staying indoors. I wouldn't act like you are perfect, you and i have probably breached many Covid rules.

Whether general restrictions have eased or not is irrelevant. They toured knowing they would have to be within a biosecure bubble and were given generous exemptions by the government despite coming from a red list country. In return they've blatantly broken the terms for being permitted to travel to the UK.
 
Those saying they should live their lives and not be a sheep should at least know Sri Lanka is still on the red list, and those being in a biosecure-bubble is essential for people around them, and the England players they're competing against.

Being ignorant isn't an excuse here.
 
Imagine if this video didn’t go viral and they later came into contact with the England players and their camp, couldn’t that have jeopardised the series vs Pak?

I mean no doubt a player would like a bit of rest when they arrive at the hotel but after a while it just gets annoying. I get your point that they are on good money.
 
Can someone explain to me, why every player who breaches restrictions is treated/ punished quite swiftly and seriously yet Jofra Archer did a huge breach, at the height of the pandemic when a big push was being made to return to sport, risking people’s lives and millions of pounds, yet got away without any punishment whatsoever.

The double standards is crazy. And then [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] keeps asking what issue I have with Jofra. He gets treated like a king just because he plays for England and is overhyped.

Tbf, the ECB allowed the players to travel on their own to the grounds IIRC, if they had travelled together then it could’ve been avoided.
 
Three suspended Cricketers Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella and Danushka Gunathilake will return home from UK and will be face a discipline inquiry in Colombo.

Senior SLC officials told CricWire that players are likely to face a lengthy ban from International Cricket and as of now they will miss the England ODIs and limited over series against India.

“It could be anywhere between 3 months to 1 year” Senior SLC official said. (CricWire)
 
They were only out innocently celebrating their performance, really deserve to be treated leniently here.
 
Silly behaviour from a couple of guys who have been around for quite a few years now so they should know better.

Not the first time Kusal Mendis has been in trouble - last year he was arrested after being involved in a fatal crash with a cyclist, who died instantly, just outside the country's capital Colombo.

The ridiculous oversight by the ECB aside, the instruction for the players was as clear as it was for the Sri Lankan boys. Go straight to the ground. Jofra deliberately broke these rules, then returned to the ground and continued training without telling anyone. It was only because he was dumb enough to let it slip to someone who reported it, that the matter came out into the open. Had he contracted covid, he could have ruined the whole summer.

Yet he faced zero punishment, had the audacity to complain and everyone kept going on about how hard it must be for him staying inside in a 5 star hotel for a few days.

Compare it to the reaction to the Sri Lankan cricketers here ….
 
Mickey used to be a disciplinarian. Whatever happened to him being tough on the guys. The notable thing is Mendis is the VC of the team.

As good as SL fans are, their cricket has continuously been letting them down for some years now.

Though Gunathilaka didn't quite commit manslaughter, he too has been in the limelight in the past because of attitude issues. I believe he was suspended from all cricket from breaching the Code of Conduct a few years ago.

A shame because I feel he is a very talented player who can go a long way if he wants to.

This shocks me because Mendis as a player has been a massive failure. He broke-out during the same time as Babar and while Babar has risen to one of the best in the world, this guy has been nothing more than a serial underachiever despite all the backing and chances he has got from multiple managements.

Amazing to think he and Dhananjaya were being touted as the replacements to Sanga and Mahela once.

He is very talented and has played a few amazing knocks but it's his stupidity and recklessness that has stopped him for living upto his potential. A bit of Umar Akmal in there.
Don't think Dhananjaya was ever considered as a replacement for Mahela or Sanga. He is a batting allrounder more suited to Tests and I think he has done reasonably well in tests. His game doesnt really suit LOIs especially batting at no.6.

It was actually Angelo Perera and Gunathilaka who were seen as the next big guns along with Mendis and Dickwella.

I don't know bro...this kind of talent means nothing to me anymore. Maybe its just the weariness from seeing someone like Umar Akmal over the years or the various other "talented players" Pakistan has put out. But yeah I agree, I definitely see the parallel with Umar Akmal.

Maybe I misheard but Sri Lanka clearly had very high expectations from them, especially if you think back to the 3-0 drubbing of Australia at home back in 2016; a series in which both these guys played starring roles. And granted, Mendis has played some good knocks while Dhananjaya has not been that bat as a test batsman. If anything he's one of the best they have. But I would say on the whole they've still been major disappointments.

Especially Mendis. Players like him donot deserve this much faith.

Gone are the days it seems where Sri Lankan players were amongst the most disciplined in the world of cricket.
 
OMG hahaha, you'd think this is some bad acting for some corny wanna be funny videos :))). How could they not see being recorded? the car is right in front of them. Omg, they look so funny. Dickwella scratching like that is also so funny.
 
The three players-Kusal Mendis, Noroshan Dickwella and Danushka Gunathilaka-who have been suspended by the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Monday, the day on team reaching in Durham and breaching the bio-bubble same night went out of the team hotel (Radisson Blu) to bring food from outside.

At least this is what they claimed in their defiance, it is learnt.

According to the Colombo-based sources, all three went out of the team hotel for about 2-3 hours.

"They claimed to have gone for a walk and also brought some take away parcels (chicken lamb) from a nearby place. The players were instructed not to go beyond City Centre but in the preliminary enquiry with the team manager (Manuja Kariapperuma) they claimed ignorance about the City Centre location", the source in Colombo, said.

The video of their outing was made by a Sri Lankan fan, who may have been following them.

"All three denied having gone to a nightclub or pub".

In the video, Mendis is seen preparing to smoke. "Yes, he smokes occasionally, but is not a chain smoker", the source added.

They returned to Colombo on Tuesday afternoon and have been quarantined for 10-days (may not be 14 days) in a hotel in Negombo.

They will face enquiry by the SLC. They are likely to appeal to be lenient in the punishments stating the case of Joffra Archer, who was banned for two matches for breaching the England team bio-bubble and went to see his girl-friend.
 
Mendis, Dickwella & Gunathilaka likely to get 1 Year Ban from Cricket : SLC Source
 
Unverified reports state that Sri Lanka players Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella and Danushka Gunathilaka are banned for 1 year for breaching bio-bubble.

Still waiting for official confirmation.

These clowns are serial offenders.

Mendis for one not sure why he isn't locked up in jail after he was caught on CCTV speeding on the wrong side of the road and running over an innocent pedestrian leaving him to die on the kerb. Sadly pretty much sums up the state of SL cricket and SL in general. Dying a slow and painful death since the mid 2010s RIP.

Genuinely surprised how he got away with it without any controversy tbh.

Salman Khan got into a lot of trouble for a very similar case. It's another thing he bought his way out of punishment but that's par for the course with celebrities in the subcontinent. But he was dragged to the courts nevertheless and the case went on for about 12 years until he was finally "acquitted". Sidhu was also convicted and released in a similar road rage incident afaik.

The worst part is driving off that is inexcusable for mine. According to reports there were several other players inside the vehicle as well. SLC is rotten to the core so I don't expect them to do the right thing but definitely surprised ICC didn't demand severe suspensions at the very least. If something like this can't be deemed as bringing the game into disrepute not exactly sure what can be.
 
Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to announce the appointment of a 05 Member Panel to inquire into the alleged misconduct of three players, namely Kusal Mendis, Dhanushka Gunathilake, and Niroshan Dickwella while touring England with the National Team.

Thats too harsh in my opinion. Yes you want to send a message regarding discipline but, this is just too much of focus on setting an example out of these 3 which in my opinion is unfair. If I am not wrong Gunathilaka and Mendis had disciplinary issues previously as well so maybe that played a role too. Not sure about Dickwella though as 18 months is still to harsh I think.
 
The five-member disciplinary committee formed by Sri Lanka Cricket has recommended a two-year bans for batsmen Danushka Gunathilaka and Kusal Mendis with 18-month sanction for wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella for their recent breach of bio-secure bubble during their tour of United Kingdom.

Additionally, they have been imposed a hefty fine of US$ 25,000. In late June, they were found to have breached the COVID safety bio-bubble in Durham ahead of the three-match ODI series against England.

They were immediately put under suspension and sent back home. They faced a five member disciplinary committee headed by a judge and it has found the trio guilty.

They were overlooked for selections for the ongoing ODI and T20 series with the visiting Indians which is due to be concluded later tonight.

The committee's punitive recommendations are subject to approval by the SLC executive committee, SLC officials said.

There's definitely more to it, than what we, the public, know. Analogous to the Sandpaper-trio or the Ollie Robinson and Alex Hales cases resp., this is more to do with the environment that allowed such culture to fester.

Don't think this is just about about the incident in June, or even the previous couple of indiscretions. This is more to do with a repeated pattern of behavior that happens away from the public eye.

Similar to CA and ECB, SLC should keep most of its findings internal/confidential, but still deal out the appropriate punishments. It'll seem odd to the public that is unaware, but it might be necessary to protect both the players themselves, and SLC culture.

From what I have heard, some of the Sri Lankan players discipline has been very poor with a number of incidents. Perhaps this time they want to make an example of them.
 
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) board has reduced the ban period recommended by the legal panel on the suspended trio-who breached the bib-bubble on last England tour.

The decision was taken at the Ex-co meeting held on Friday at the SLC office, it is learnt.

According to the sources, the Ex-co members have reduced the ban period for Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka (2 years) and Niroshan Dickwela (18 months) to 1 year for international cricket and 6 months domestic ((common for all three) .

The Ex-co has, however, enhanced the fine to USD 50,000 from USD 25,000 which was recommended by the panel.

The players can appeal this decision, if unsatisfied, to the sports minister within 14 days.

After these sorts of punishments, the only doctor these players will need to see is a Psychiatrist.
 
They didn't mess around did they.

Surely the players will appeal.

The heck does this mean?
 
SLC maybe playing smart.

Players will appeal.

They will reduce the punishment which will still be painful enough to be a deterrent.
 
These fools don't know how easy it is to be filmed by people these days. Seems these idiots wanted to get banned or something:maqsood There bank balance and wallet will be paying a big price very soon:facepalm
 
I don't understand why people are calling it harsh i mean do they even know what all in stake for one series not even financially but your country reputation is at stake too can you just imagine how much background work involves to arrange a single tour ?
Just ask PCB how difficult it is.
& In these time's cost & health risk are doubled or maybe more.
So how would a host country & their fans will feel if the tour get's cancel because of couple of curious guys who needed a smoking break.
