Sri Lanka's Nuwan Zoysa found guilty of 3 offenses under ICC's Anti-Corruption Code
Former Sri Lanka player and bowling coach Nuwan Zoysa has been found guilty of three offences under the ICC anti-corruption code by an independent tribunal. Zoysa is already serving the suspension on match-fixing charges.
In November 2018, Zoysa was charged under the ICC anti-corruption code and has been found guilty on all charges after exercising the right to a hearing before an independent anti-corruption tribunal.
The former Sri Lankan cricketer remains suspended and sanctions will be announced in due course, the International Cricket Council said.
In 2019, Zoysa was provisionally suspended in the month of May on charges of getting involved in corruption during a T20 league in the UAE.
