Sri Lanka’s bowling coach Nuwan Zoysa was today suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and charged with match-fixing, compounding the crisis that has gripped the game in the island nation.

Just days before the Lankans take the field against England in a Test series, Zoysa has been charged with articles which relate to match-fixing and encouraging players to influence results.

An ICC release said, Zoysa has been provisionally suspended with immediate effect. Mr Zoysa has 14 days from tomorrow to respond to the charges.
