ICC charges Sri-Lankan legend Jayasuriya in anti-corruption probe

The International Cricket Council has charged former Sri Lankan batsman and ex-chief selector Sanath Jayasuriya on two counts of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit and has given him 14 days to respond.

Jayasuriya was reportedly asked to cooperate with an inquiry from ACU chief Alex Marshall who visited Sri Lanka last month.

The charges include failure or refusal, without compelling justification, to cooperate with any investigation carried out by the ACU, including failure to provide accurately and completely any information and documentation requested by the ACU as part of such investigation.

The ICC's ACU is acting further on their previous investigation which in January 2016 saw Galle stadium curator Jayananda Warnaweera banned for three years after he failed to cooperate with the ACU.
