ICC suspends Sharma, Chandimal

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP)

India bowler Ishant Sharma and Sri Lanka batsman Dinesh Chandimal have been given one-match suspensions by cricket's governing body, while two other Sri Lankan players have been fined after disciplinary breaches during the third Test.

The International Cricket Council said in a statement yesterday that Chandimal will miss Sri Lanka's one-day international against West Indies on November 1, while Sharma will sit out India's first Test against South Africa starting November 5.

The ICC said Chandimal was sanctioned for making physical contact with Sharma during an argument Monday that Sharma was having with Sri Lanka's Dhammika Prasad.

Sharma was suspended after making offensive gestures as a send-off to a dismissed batsman for the third time during the series, which finished yesterday with India sealing its first Test series win in Sri Lanka in 22 years.

Final scores: India 312 (Cheteshwar Pujara 145 not out, Amit Mishra 59; Dhammika Prasad 4-100) and 274 (Ravi-chandran Ashwin 58, Rohit Sharma 50; Nuwan Pradeep 4-62 ,Dhammika Prasad 4-69). Sri Lanka 201 (Kusal Perera 55; Ishant Sharma 5-54); and 268 (Angelo Mathews 110, Kusal Perera 70; Ravi-chandran Ashwin 4-69, Ishant Sharma 3-32).
