Following Zimbabwe, they can also play against Australia, India and Bangladesh in home and away tours this year.
In July last year, SLC Executive Committee had imposed a one-year ban from international cricket on the three players and six months suspension from domestic games. They had even imposed a fine of Sri Lankan Rs. 10 million on each one of them.
It all happened after a video went viral on social media where the players were seen smoking on the streets of Durham during their limited-overs series against England.
Soon, SLC charged them for “putting in jeopardy the safety of players by breaching Covid-19 safety guidelines, including instructions of the team management”. They were also punished for breaking the team curfew of being in their hotel rooms by 10:30 pm and last but not least “brought disrepute to the country and cricket board”.
