A report in the UK's Daily Telegraph, based on footage to be shown in a documentary on Al Jazeera on Sunday, alleged a groundsman had told an undercover reporter he could prepare pitches which would prevent a game ending in a draw.
It was suggested England's first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle in November could be manipulated in such a way, allowing anyone involved to back against the draw and therefore profit.
The England and Wales Cricket board said it supported the ICC's investigation into the matter, and SLC said on Saturday it would take immediate action against anyone found to be involved.
"Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) will extend its fullest co-operation to the International Cricket Council to investigate the latest allegations levelled via media reports, over match fixing," a statement read.
"Mr Ashley De Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket, is in contact with the CEO of the International Cricket Council, Mr David Richardson, and the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit on the matter. Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to state that it has zero tolerance towards corruption and will take immediate action against any person involved in the alleged incident, if found guilty.
"In the meantime, Sri Lanka Cricket is constantly engaged with the ICC and is following its guidelines on how to handle anti-corruption operations for the forthcoming tours in Sri Lanka."
