Cricketer Shehan Madushanka suspended from all formats of cricket after he was arrested and remanded on the charges of possessing heroin, Sri Lanka Cricket said today.
Sri Lanka’s fast bowler Shehan Madushanka and another were remanded till June 2 by the Kuliyapitiya Magistrate on the charges of possessing heroin.
Police said the two suspects were taken into custody on Saturday at Pannala when they were travelling in a Car from Bammanna to Pudulupoththa in Kuliyapatiya.
Police found 2.7 grammes of heroin in the possession of Shehan Madushanka.
The 25-year-old pacer rose to instant fame in international cricket when he picked up a hat-trick on his ODI debut against Bangladesh in a tri-nation tournament final in January 2018. The three victims in his ODI hat-trick were Mashrafe Mortaza, Rubel Hossain and Mahmudullah.
He played 2 other T20Is on the same tour but hasn’t represented the national side since mainly due to injuries.
“He had lost his pace recently and missed practice also, we were wondering what’s wrong. This is the problem when you get quick money, they get to meet wrong people” a coach attached to Sri Lanka Cricket told NewsWire commenting about Shehan Madushanka.
