Sri Lanka all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has been suspended from the two-Test series against Bangladesh due to dissent, the International Cricket Council said on Tuesday, a day after announcing he was coming out of Test retirement.
The ICC handed down the punishment after Hasaranga was found guilty of “showing disagreement with the umpire's decision” during the third ODI against Bangladesh on Monday.
In the 37th over of the game – which Bangladesh won by four wickets to take the three-match series 2–1 – Hasaranga snatched his cap from an umpire and mocked the match umpire.
He was fined 50 per cent of the match and earned three demerit points for his offence, the ICC said in a statement.
