Kusal Perera tests positive for banned substance, out of NZ tour
Sri Lanka wicketkeeper-batsman Kusal Perera has tested positive for a banned substance and has been recalled from the New Zealand tour, Sri Lanka Cricket said in a release on Monday. Perera's sample was provided for a random test by the ICC in the recent home series against Pakistan. Kaushal Silva will replace Perera in the squad for the New Zealand tour. The first Test starts on December 10.
In its release, SLC said that it would take all steps required by the ICC to have a further sample tested and "make every endeavor" to enable Perera to resume playing cricket at the earliest opportunity in compliance with the ICC's regulations. Perera had been picked in all three squads for the tour.
An ICC spokesperson said Perera had been "provisionally suspended" pending the outcome of the disciplinary process to be followed under the ICC's Anti-Doping Code.
"The ICC can confirm that Mr Kusal Perera has been charged by the ICC with an anti-doping rule violation pursuant to the ICC Anti-Doping Code after a sample he provided was found to contain a Prohibited Substance," the spokesperson said, adding that the ICC will offer no further comment on the matter until the disciplinary process is resolved.

It does not matter who is the sister network or where. Many programs from FOX (FX network) r aired on other chs too in India. Also Zee is not a bechaara kid like u r portraying bro, every broadcaster plays games to benefit themI hope so they do if New Zealand Cricket Board won't banned them for years old League and if their sister concern be there the only Private TV channel of New Zealand
