Appreciation and praise came from all quarters after the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) took quick and strong action against Suraj Randiv and Tilakratne Dilshan for the no-ball fiasco during the game against India.
ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat hailed the Sri Lankan Cricket Board, saying "The Spirit of Cricket is a fundamental part of our great sport and it is pleasing to see our Members upholding it in such a decisive manner".
The ICC has termed the incident as a closed chapter. The BCCI had already refused to raise the issue after the SLC and Randiv apologised to Sehwag for denying him a well-deserving hundred.
Former Indian cricketers, including legendary Sunil Gavaskar have welcomed Sri Lankan Cricket Board’s swift action. They believe that it will set a right precedent for others in the coming days.
Suraj Randiv was suspended for one ODI and lost his match fee. Dilshan, who coaxed him to bowl a deliberate no-ball, was also fined his full match fee. Skipper Kumara Sangakkara was reprimanded by the SLC.
