Sri Lanka Cricket bans alcohol for Pakistan ODI after riot
Sri Lanka's cricket authorities announced a ban on alcohol for Wednesday's fourth one-day international between Pakistan and the hosts following a drunken riot at the venue on Sunday.
Sri Lanka Cricket said unruly behaviour will be dealt with severely as a response to crowd unrest that held up play for 30 minutes at the Premadasa stadium, delaying Pakistan's victory to lead the five-match series 2-1.
Items banned according to a cricket board statement include hooters, liquor, glass bottles, sharp objects, lighters and boxes of matches.
"Any unruly behaviour by any spectator will be severely dealt with and may even be subject to eviction from the grounds," the statement added.
