Sri Lanka Cricket has suspended opening batsman Danushka Gunathilaka for six matches due to misconduct, an SLC official told Cricbuzz on Thursday (October 5).

The 26-year-old is said to have skipped a training session after late night partying. In a separate incident he had turned up at the ground during a match day without his kit bag. The incident had happened during the Indian series.

"The team management reported Danushka for breach of discipline and SLC took a decision to suspend him for six matches. We will make a formal announcement shortly," an SLC official said.

Gunathilaka made his Test debut against India in Galle in July. He played the first two ODIs as well but a shoulder injury ruled him out of the remainder of the series. He was overlooked for Sri Lanka's current series against Pakistan in UAE.
