Sri Lanka spinner Praveen Jayawickrama has been handed a one-year ban from all forms of cricket for breaching the anti-corruption code.

Jayawickrama was charged with three breaches of the code by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in August after failing to report an approach to fix matches and obstructing an investigation.

The 26-year-old subsequently admitted to breaching the anti-corruption code.

“As a result of the admission, Jayawickrama has accepted a sanction of a one-year period of ineligibility, of which the last six months are suspended,” the ICC said.

The ICC said Jayawickrama was approached to fix international matches and asked to contact another player to fix matches in the 2021 season of the Lanka Premier League.

Jaywawickrama was handed his international debut in April 2021 when he took 11 wickets in his maiden Test against Bangladesh.

He has played five Test matches, five one-day internationals and five T20 internationals, and last featured for Sri Lanka in June 2022.
