Cricket: Sachithra Senanayake further remanded till September 25

News

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.

His arrest was following the Attorney General’s (AG) Department’s directive to press criminal charges against the former cricketer as “sufficient materials have been disclosed in terms of the Prevention of Offences related to Sports Act No. 24 of 2019”.

A month ago, the Colombo Magistrate’s Court slapped a travel ban on the 38-year-old former Sri Lanka spinner and his passport was impounded after the AG’s Department asked for more time to investigate an incident from the 2020 Lanka Premier League (LPL).
