Sri Lankan Cricket Board suspends Randiv for tomorrow's one-dayer against New Zealand

Sri Lankan cricket board today suspended spinner Suraj Randiv for one match and imposed fine on Thillakaratne Dilshan for his role in depriving Indian opener Virender Sehwag a century.An SLC statement today said that Suraj Randiv has been suspended from the next match against New Zealand tomorrow and his match fee for the India Vs Sri Lankan match on Monday has been forfeited.Captain Kumar Sangakkara has also reprimanded and advised to ensure that repetition of such incidents do not occur in future.The decision to take disciplinary action against the players was taken by the six-member committee which met this afternoon to take action on the recommendations of teammanager who probed the 'no-ball' controversy.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 stranded on an unbeaten 99.
