Former Sri Lanka allrounder Sachithra Senanayake, who was arrested earlier this month, has been further remanded until September 25 when he was produced before the Colombo Chief Magistrate today (15).
Senanayake, who was arrested on September 6 after he surrendered to the Special Investigation Unit of the Ministry of Sports, was earlier remanded until September 15.
