Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) confirmed today (3) that it had officially suspended three of its employees pending disciplinary action.
"With respect to several new items appearing in the local media, Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to confirm the suspension of three of its employees pending disciplinary action," SLC stated.
"However we wish to inform that this is an internal matter of the administration of SLC, and inquiries are being conducted with strict adherence to the Labour Laws of Sri Lanka and under due legal counsel. As such, no details of the inquiries will be disclosed or discussed with the media pending the finality of these proceedings, at which time a notice of the final decision of the Executive Committee may be conveyed to the media," it added.
"We appeal to all media to refrain from publishing conjecture and hearsay with respect to these internal administrational proceedings as they have no bearing on the game of cricket, and only serve to cause unwarranted embarrassment and pain of mind to the employees in question."
A Sri Lankan man was apprehended at Suvarnabhumi airport for attempting to smuggle wildlife out of the country after three ball pythons were found hidden in his underwear, the Bangkok post reported.
