For breaching contractual obligations

Dasun Shanaka

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has imposed a fine of $ 10,000 on Dasun Shanaka for breaching the terms of the player contract he entered into with SLC.

The decision follows an incident where Shanaka, after playing for his domestic club in the ongoing Major Club 3-Day Tournament, withdrew early due to an injury.

This is following the player submitting a medical certificate, which recommended Shanaka to rest, and hence he did not take part in the remainder of the match.

However, on the same evening, he travelled to Dubai and participated in a franchise league match. This action was deemed a breach of several contractual clauses that require players to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and commitment to Sri Lanka Cricket.

During the inquiry, Shanaka acknowledged his actions and expressed regret for any inconvenience caused. He also clarified that he did not act with dishonest intent and assured SLC that he would exercise better judgment in the future.

Sri Lanka Cricket remains committed to maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards and will continue to take necessary measures to uphold the integrity of the game.
