The case tests a new reform panel at Sri Lanka Cricket during a fragile transition.

Overview

  • Two Under-19 players in Colombo were arrested over allegations they recorded people in hotel bathrooms in Narahenpita, then released on personal bail of LKR 500,000 each.
  • Police are conducting forensic checks on seized devices to assess the number of recordings and whether any clips were uploaded or sent online.
  • Complaints came from women staying at the hotel, with several outlets identifying them as doctors attending a conference.
  • The players are due back at the Aluthkade Magistrate’s Court on May 25 for the next hearing.
