While Zoysa has been charged for breaching four counts, Gunawardene has violated two counts of ECB's Anti-Corruption Code.
The ICC was appointed by the ECB as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official for the purposes of the ECB’s Code for this tournament and as such are issuing these charges on the ECB’s behalf.
