The International Cricket Council (ICC), on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), has charged Nuwan Zoysa for breaching four counts of the ECB Anti-Corruption Code for Participants for the T10 League (the ‘Code’) and Avishka Gunawardene for two counts.
The costs relate to the T10 Cricket League played in the UAE in December 2017. The ECB appointed the ICC as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official for the ECB’s Code for this match, and as such, they are issuing these charges on the ECB’s behalf.
The prices follow a current amnesty to individuals who had formerly failed to report any statistics regarding corrupt conduct in Sri Lankan cricket.
The former Sri Lanka gamers were charged with the following offenses below the Code:
Mr. Nuwan Zoysa:
Article 2.1.1 – for being party to an agreement to influence a fit’s result, progress, conduct, or another aspect (s) improperly.
Article 2.1.4 – Directly or in a roundabout way soliciting, inducing, enticing, educating, persuading, encouraging, or deliberately facilitating any Participant to breach Code Article 2.1.
Article 2.4.Four – Failing to disclose complete information of any tactics or invites received to engage in corrupt conduct underneath the Code to the ACU.
Article 2.Four.6 – Failing or refusing, without compelling justification, to cooperate with any investigation performed by way of the ACU about possible Corrupt Conduct beneath the Code
Mr. Zoysa is already suspended because of being charged with three breaches of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Code in November of the remaining year; these charges are pending dedication.
That provisional suspension remains in complete pressure and effect, and Mr. Zoysa has moreover been provisionally suspended below the ECB Code pending the willpower of these new expenses.
Mr. Avishka Gunawardene:
Article 2.1. Four – Directly or in a roundabout way soliciting, inducing, engaging, teaching, persuading, encouraging, or deliberately facilitating any Participant to breach Code Article 2.1.
Article 2.4.5 – Failing to disclose to the ACU (without pointless postponement) complete information of any incident, reality, or count number that comes to a Participant’s eye that can evidence Corrupt Conduct underneath the Anti-Corruption Code by using every other Participant.
Mr. Gunawardene has also been provisionally suspended below the ECB Code, pending the dedication of these fees.
Mr. Zoysa and Mr. Gunawardene have 14 days from 9 May 2019 to reply to the fees. The ICC will no longer make any additional comments in admiration of these expenses at this level.
