Former Sri Lankan cricketers Avishka Gunawardene and Nuwan Zoysa Charged with match-fixing from the ICC. Both cricketers have been suspended and have to respond to the charges in 14 days.

The charges relate to the United Arab Emirates’ T10 League.

Gunawardene, 41, a former opening batsman who played 6 Tests and 61 One Days between 1999 and 2006, was selected Sri Lanka’s provisional batting coach in January 2019.

He’s charged with two violations including “directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, enticing, teaching, persuading, encouraging or intentionally easing any player” to fix a match.

Former bowler Zoysa, 40, who played 95 internationals between 1997 and 2007 and 30 Tests, was suspended at November for three breaches of the ICC code.

He’s charged with four counts of violating the Emirates Cricket Board’s Anti-Corruption Code, including” Directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, enticing, instructing, persuading, encouraging or intentionally facilitating any Participant to breach Code ” and “Failing or refusing, without compelling justification to cooperate with any investigation carried out by the ACU in relation to possible Corrupt Conduct under the Code.”

It’s a part of a broader investigation into corruption at Sri Lankan cricket and follows a 15-day amnesty in January.

In February, former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya was prohibited from cricket for a couple of years.
