(Reuters): Sri Lanka cricketers Tillakaratne Dilshan and Thisara Perera have been fined and reprimanded for disciplinary breaches during the first one-day international against England, the International Cricket Council said on Thursday.
While former captain Dilshan will lose 25% of his match fee for excessive appealing, all-rounder Perera was docked 20% for bringing the game into disrepute.A disciplinary hearing was not required as both cricketers admitted the charges and accepted the sanctions, the ICC said in a statement.
The hosts won the first of the seven-match ODI series by 25 runs in Colombo on Wednesday.
