Sri Lanka’s National Cricket Team batter, Niroshan Dickwella, has been suspended from all forms of cricket following reports from NewsWire that suggest he has been implicated in an alleged anti-doping violation. The suspension, which comes after the recent Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024, will remain in effect while investigations are ongoing, preventing Dickwella from participating in any cricket-related activities, including training.
According to reports, Dickwella tested positive for cocaine in a doping test conducted by the Sri Lanka Anti-Doping Agency at the conclusion of the LPL. This development poses a significant threat to his cricketing career, as he now faces a complete ban from the sport.
An official statement regarding the situation is expected soon. Dickwella, who has previously made headlines for his off-field controversies, was also banned for a year in 2021 for breaching COVID-19 protocols during a UK tour.
