Sri Lanka Cricket sacks food and beverage supplier for England tour
Sri Lanka Cricket sacked its food and beverage supplier for selling liquor without a licence during the England's tour, sparking a mid-match raid by tax agents.
"As the firm has failed to act within the law... and bringing disrepute to Sri Lanka Cricket, SLC decided to immediately terminate Classic Destination from delivering further hospitality services during the England tour," the board said in a statement on Thursday.
The decision followed revelations that tax officers seized bottles of whisky and wine being served to England fans during the fifth one-day international match in Colombo.
The Cricket Board said its hospitality partner, did not obtain the necessary licences to serve hard liquor at the ground.
A one-off T20 is due tomorrow.
Three Test matches will begin on November 6 with the final match due to end on November 27.
