Sri Lankan media claimed that the International Cricket Council (ICC) had selected Tillakaratne Dilshan for its random dope test during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and on Wednesday he was reportedly tested positive. If the reports are confirmed, Tillakaratne Dilshan will become the second player after Australia's Shane Warne to be tested positive during the world cup tournament. Shane Warne was made to return home after tested positive for a banned substance, i.e. hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride, both of which diuretics normally used to aid temporary weight loss, during the 2003 World Cup held in South Africa. The positive dope test result of Dilshan has dented Sri Lankan cricket team’s chances in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 to some extent as he was an integral part of the squad and was responsible for providing an express start in company of Upul Tharanga, the local Sri Lanka media viewed. </blockquote>
