Niroshan Dickwella, the wicketkeeper-batter of Sri Lanka, has been disqualified due to a doping violation, the SLS stated in a formal statement. The test was run during the Lanka Premier League this year by Sri Lanka’s Anti-Doping Agency. Niroshan Dickwella has been suspended with immediate effect and won’t be allowed to return until further notice.
“This initiative, undertaken in collaboration with the Ministry of Sports and in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) guidelines, is aimed at ensuring that cricket remains free from the influence of prohibited substances,” the release stated.
“SLC, together with the Ministry of Sports and SLADA, conducts these tests during domestic tournaments randomly to safeguard the sport against anti-doping violations.”
Dickwella led the Galle Marvels in LPL 2024.
