Wanindu Hasaranga launched a scathing attack against Lyndon Hannibal, who was the square-leg umpire during the tense final over in the third T20I against Afghanistan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New\u00a0Sri Lanka\u00a0<\/a>Twenty20 captain\u00a0Wanindu Hasaranga\u00a0<\/a>was given a two-match ban by the International Cricket Council on Saturday for abusing an umpire during this week\u2019s series-ending loss against Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 26-year-old remonstrated with on-field umpire Lyndon Hannibal after the match for failing to call a no-ball on a high delivery to Kamindu Mendis in the final over, when Sri Lanka needed 11 from three balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICC said in a statement the encounter had breached its code of conduct on \u201cpersonal abuse\u201d, with Hasaranga accumulating enough demerit points over the past two years to earn the ban and a fine of 50 percent of his match fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWanindu Hasaranga stands suspended from Sri Lanka\u2019s first two T20Is against Bangladesh next month,\u201d the statement said.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Replays confirmed that Wafadar Momand\u2019s delivery had been above waist-high and Hasaranga continued to vent his frustrations after the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you can\u2019t see that, that umpire isn\u2019t suited to international cricket,\u201d he said, according to Cricinfo. \u201cIt would be much better if he did another job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sri Lanka went on to lose the match by three runs after Mendis hit a six on the final ball but won the series 2-1 in an otherwise wretched tour for Afghanistan, which lost all three ODIs and the sole Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICC also fined Afghanistan\u2019s Rahmanullah Gurbaz 15 percent of his fee for the same match for disobeying umpire instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sanction was imposed on Rahmanullah for changing the grip of his bat on the field of play despite being repeatedly warned not to do so,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said both players had \u201cadmitted the offences and accepted the sanctions\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
