Niroshan Dickwella Suspended Over Doping Violation

Sri Lanka cricketer Niroshan Dickwella has been suspended from all forms of cricket due to an alleged anti-doping violation during the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024. The suspension, effective immediately, follows a failed doping test conducted by the Sri Lanka Anti-Doping Agency (SLADA) as part of an ongoing effort to uphold the integrity of the sport. Reports suggest that he may face an indefinite ban while the investigation continues. Dickwella, who captained the Galle Marvels, struggled in the tournament, scoring only 184 runs across 10 innings. This incident marks the second major controversy in his career after a previous suspension for a bio-bubble breach in 2021. A formal announcement regarding the details of his punishment is expected soon.
