Sri Lanka Cricket has appointed a three-member investigation panel consisting of Justice Sisira Ratnayake (Retired High Court Judge) Niroshana Perera, Attorney-at-Law, and Asela Rekawa, Attorney-at-Law, to initiate an inquiry into the alleged incident involving player Danushka Gunathilaka.
Gunathilaka has been denied bail by a Sydney court on Monday, after being arrested and charged with four counts of sexual intercourse without consent. He was arrested early morning on November 6 at the team's hotel in Sydney's central business district.
The committee will also focus the inquiry on various alleged incidents that have come to the attention of Sri Lanka Cricket and that are said to have allegedly taken place during the national team's stay in Australia.
The panel in this process will call for an immediate explanation from the Team Manager pertaining to his conduct, with references to the occurrence of such incidents.
Upon submission of the said report by the Panel, the Executive Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket will take stern disciplinary action against the players and or officials if proved any wrongdoing or negligence when carrying out official duties.
