Former Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Zoysa banned for six years under ICC Anti-Corruption Code

Former Sri Lanka pacer Nuwan Zoysa has been handed a six-year ban from all cricket after he was found guilty of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.

Former Sri Lanka pacer and coach of the A team Nuwan Zoysa was on Wednesday banned from all cricket for six years after being found guilty of trying to fix matches and failing to disclose corrupt approaches from a suspected Indian bookie. The ban on Zoysa, 42-year-old, is backdated to October 31, 2018, when he was provisionally suspended. "Nuwan played 125 matches for Sri Lanka, attending a number of anti-corruption sessions during a decade-long international career. In his role as a national coach, he should have acted as a role model. Instead, he became involved with a corrupter and attempted to corrupt others.
