Zimbabwe Cricket confirms “incident”
Zimbabwe Cricket has confirmed that there has been an incident involving a Sri Lanka cricketer after Sri Lanka won a Tri series cricket tournament in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe Cricket head of media and communications Shingai Rhuhwaya said that they were aware about an incident that took place at the end of the tri-series. Reading a ZC statement to Indian newspaper Indian Express from Harare Rhuhwaya said: “Zimbabwe cricket has been advised of an alleged incident involving one of the Sri Lankan cricketers that occurred in the team hotel following their victory in the recently concluded tri-series in Zimbabwe. Upon further investigation by our security and legal affairs department, we have been informed by the local police that no charges were ever laid by any complainants and no details of the incident were ever specified. To the best of our knowledge, no player or team official was or has subsequently been charged with anything in relation to this incident. So in the absence of an allegation, let alone a charge, arrest or case, Zimbabwe Cricket cannot make further comments, but assures authorities of its full cooperation as always, should anything further emerge.”
The newspaper named a Sri Lanka opening batsman as to have misbehaved with a woman while breaking 10 pm curfew after the team won the tri-series in Zimbabwe earlier this year.
The incident, the newspaper added, occurred on the night of June 5 after Sri Lanka had beaten India by six wickets. It said that Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) had issued a stern warning to the player following the incident.
It added that the player was questioned by the local police after the incident. There was no charge sheet filed against the player, so SLC officials didn’t find it necessary to even conduct an informal inquiry into the incident.
The Sri Lanka team’s manager on the tour Anura Tennekoon in his report has highlighted the fact that the player specially as a responsible member had broken the curfew.
Confirming the news to The Indian Express SLC media manager Brian Thomas had said, “There has been no charge sheet filed against any player nor did Zimbabwe Cricket inform us about any incident involving any of our players misbehaving with any woman. It can also be confirmed that no player brought any unknown woman to the team hotel.”
