Sri Lanka suspend Gunathilaka for six matches

Gunathilaka was suspended after a complaint by team manager Asanka Gurusinha. Local media reported the 26-year-old had missed a training session.

"The board had asked the selectors not to consider Danushka for six white-ball games," Gurusinha said. "Yes, it is for disciplinary reasons that they made that decision."

Sri Lanka lost all three tests, five one-dayers and the solitary Twenty20 international against India.

Gunathilaka pleaded guilty to the charges on Sept. 29 and will miss Sri Lanka's one-day series against Pakistan, which will be held in the United Arab Emirates later this month.
