Colombo: Former Sri Lanka batsman Chamara Silva has been handed a two-year ban from cricket-related activities for breaching the spirit of the game during a Tier-B first class match played in January this year, which was probed for alleged match-fixing. The SLC had initiated a probe whether the match between Panadura Cricket Club v Kalutara Physical Culture Club was fixed after 24 wickets fell on a day and in 13 overs of play while a run rate of over 10 had been maintained. Silva, who had led Panadura, has been banned for two years from playing, coaching and administrating. He played in 11 Tests and 75 ODIs between 1999 and 2011. The captain of Kalutara club, Manoj Deshapriya was also handed the same punishment as that of Silva.
