Four charged for misconduct in Colombo Test

COLOMBO: Three Sri Lankan players and one Indian have been charged for misconduct during the ongoing third Test, with details to be revealed after the match, the International Cricket Council said on Tuesday.
India’s fast bowler Ishant Sharma and the Sri Lankan trio of Dhammika Prasad, Dinesh Chandimal and Lahiru Thirimanne were involved in a heated flare-up during the fourth day’s play on Monday in Colombo.
Tempers rose in the final session as Sharma and the Sri Lankan fielders had a heated exchange after Prasad bowled three consecutive bouncers to the Indian tailender.
Chandimal nudged Sharma with his shoulder and Thirimanne too joined in the verbal spat, forcing umpires Nigel Llong and Rod Tucker to step in to calm down the players.
As Sharma hurried off the field after the Indian innings ended, Prasad sprinted behind him and television pictures showed the two players speaking to each other outside the dressing rooms.
Sharma, who was fined 65 percent of his match fees for misconduct during the second Test, faces a possible suspension by match referee Andy Pycroft. The ICC said on its Twitter feed that details of the charges will be announced after the match.
