Sri Lanka suspended three players and sent them home from its cricket tour of England on Monday after they broke the squad's anti-coronavirus rules by being pictured outside the team hotel.
Sri Lanka Cricket said vice-captain Kusal Mendis, wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella and opening batsman Danushka Gunathilaka “will be flown back to Sri Lanka, with immediate effect” and remain suspended until an inquiry is complete.
