Sri Lankan cricket captain Angelo Mathews has testified before police over a complaint that some national team players have been approached by a person with an offer to fix matches for money.
Financial crimes investigators interviewed Mathews on Tuesday for several hours.
The questioning came a day after Sri Lanka Cricket, the sport's local governing body, suspended senior fast bowling coach Anusha Samaranayake for links with a practice bowler, said to have brought the offers.
Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath and opening batsman Kusal Perera are reported to have made the complaints over the approaches.
Samaranayake, who has worked with the fast bowling academy for many years and helped in the development of many leading bowlers, has been suspended for two months pending an inquiry.
