ICC suspends Sharma and Chandimal

India bowler Ishant Sharma and Sri Lanka batsman Dinesh Chandimal have been given one-match suspensions by the ICC.

India bowler Ishant Sharma and Sri Lanka batsman Dinesh Chandimal have been given one-match suspensions by the International Cricket Council while two other Sri Lankan players have been fined after disciplinary breaches during the third Test.

The ICC said in a statement that Chandimal will miss Sri Lanka's one-day international against West Indies on November 1, while Sharma will sit out India's first Test against South Africa starting on November 5.

The ICC said Chandimal was sanctioned for making physical contact with Sharma during an argument Monday that Sharma was having with Sri Lanka's Dhammika Prasad.

Sharma was suspended after making offensive gestures as a send-off to a dismissed batsman for the third time during the series.

Prasad and Lahiru Thirmanne were fined 50 per cent of their match fees.
