De Silva wants Mendis, Dickwella, & Gunathilaka to face “appropriate punishment”

Former Sri Lanka cricketer Aravinda de Silva has slammed Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella, and Danushka Gunathilaka, implying that they should face severe disciplinary action for breaking the bio-security procedure in England.

During Sri Lanka’s recent tour of England, all three Lankan players were found guilty of violating the Covid regulations. As a result, the three was suspended in the middle of their mission and returned home. According to dailynews.lk, De Silva stated on a television talk programme that the players should have realised the responsibility of representing their nation and stayed within the bio-bubb.

“They should have realised their misbehaviour and especially what was the fault they have done off the field. They should realise their responsibility and represent the country. When a bio-bubble is created they have to live according to the rules and regulations,” De Silva was quoted as saying.
