An upset Sri Lanka Cricket today apologised to Indian opener Virender Sehwag for the deliberate no-ball bowled by off-spinner Suraj Randiv which left him stranded on 99 in their tri-series match in Dambulla on Monday. SLC Secretary Nishantha Ranatunga called-up the Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal and apologised for Monday's incident and promised action on the matter after getting a probe report.Sehwag was just one short of his 13th ODI hundred when Randiv, who had not bowled a no ball in the Test or ODI series this season, bowled one which was hit by the opener for a six.However, it did not count because the no ball amounted to India's winning run leaving Sehwag on an unbeaten 99.Randiv's antics were criticised by Sehwag in the post match press conference and to put an end to the furore, Ranatunga gave Biswal a call to apologise.
