The International Cricket Council (ICC)’s independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal has unanimously cleared former Sri Lanka player Avishka Gunawardene of two charges of match-fixing and failing to disclose corrupt approaches.

Gunawardene has been permitted to resume participation in cricket immediately.

The Tribunal, which also considered charges against Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Zoysa for four counts under the same Code, has upheld one charge while dismissing the other three, ICC announced.

The ICC (acting on behalf of the ECB) said it will consider the written reasoned decision in full before making any further comment.

The charges relate to the T10 Cricket League played in the UAE in December 2017. The ICC was appointed by the ECB as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official for the ECB’s Code for this tournament.

 Zoysa was last month banned for six years in a different case under the ICC Anti-Corruption code.
