Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has said that currently none of its national players are under the scrutiny of the International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption unit. The SLC has given this clarification after the statement of Sports Minister Dulas Alahaperuma. According to media reports, Alahaperuma had said that the ICC is investigating for match-fixing of at least three cricketers in his country. The Sports Minister, however, did not say whether he was a former or current player.

The statement further said, "The SLC strongly believes that what the Honorable Minister mentioned is the initiation of investigation by the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit against three former Sri Lankan players. This does not include the present-day national players." Fast bowler Shehan Madushanka was detained by the Sri Lankan police last week on charges of possessing heroin. SLC has suspended his contract.
