Jesus. This likely to result in a ban from the international side? Or just the captaincy stripped

Perhaps at the start of each year we should hold a sweep on how many captains Sri Lanka will go through.

Genuine WTF moment reading that. Dimuth came across as a solid character from the outside. Has he had previous?

I thought people in Sri Lanka rarely drank? Makes it even weirder...
You do hear some stories involving SL players allegedly drinking - most people's favourite being the Ramith Rambuckwella airplane incident.

Not the first car accident related incident to hit an international player in recent times either, in 2016 Nuwan Kulesakara was involved in a fatal car accident, although it was quickly determined that he wasn't at fault

What an idiot. This can't even be blamed on board politics unlike most things of late.

A fine equivalent to one test match fee was issued and he will now play in the hastily arranged one day provincial comp that SLC have arranged as WC preparation.

Apparently this will send a 'strong message' from the board to the players that they 'mean business'.

And just like that, SL will surprise all of us as usual and win the effing world cup.
Honestly the minnows have a better chance than SL currently, if this form is maintained throughout the next couple of years we will struggle to qualify for 2023

Karunaratne to captain Sri Lanka at World Cup | ESPNcricinfo.com

Reminder that the real clown world is SL cricket (particularly surrounding its leadership), Karunaratne hasn't played an ODI since 2015 (has a pretty awful record too) and this thread was started with that drink driving incident a few weeks ago.

However he performed fairly well at list A level recently and they are banking on his success as captain in the SA tests, but this means Malinga has been ousted, joining the likes of Matthews and Chandimal in terms of forcibly removed captains

His wife's social media heroics may have something to do with his losing the captaincy.
