The 38-year-old’s arrest was in connection with an incident in the 2020 Lanka Premier League.
Sachithra Senanayake is the first cricket player to be prosecuted under a 2019 law that makes match-fixing a criminal offence.
The 38-year-old was taken into custody by a police unit investigating sports-related crimes, a police spokesman told AFP. A court impounded Senanayake’s passport last month during a police investigation into the allegations. Police said Senanayake is the first player to be prosecuted under a 2019 law that makes match-fixing a criminal offence.Former sports minister Harin Fernando introduced the tough new law after saying the International Cricket Council considered Sri Lanka one of the most corrupt cricket nations.
