Sangakkara not guilty of breaching code of conduct: ICC | Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara has been found not guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during his side's ODI against New Zealand in Dambulla on Friday. Sangakkara was charged with a Level 2 offence, contrary to
clause 2.2.4 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players or Team Officials, which relates
to "inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course
of play". The offence related to an exchange with New Zealand 's off-spinner Nathan
McCallum in the 26th over of Sri Lanka 's innings. While turning for the second
run, Sangakkara collided with the bowler who had his back towards the batsman.
Alan Hurst of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees, explaining his decision,
said: "I looked at video footage of the incident from various angles and considered
the detailed evidence of the umpires. I found that video evidence that was put
forward by the player provided reasonable doubt as to whether the contact was
deliberate". |
