The international cricket body said, the Sri Lanka captain did not breach the ICC Code of Conduct. Match referee Alan Hurst gave Sangakkara the benefit of doubt after watching video recording of the incident in which he had collided with McCullum, trying to ground his bat while taking a run during the washed out match in Dambulla on Friday.Sangakkara was charged with a Level 2 offence, contrary to clause 2.2.4 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players or Team Officials, which relates to inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play.
