Dubai: Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Kusal
Perera is facing the prospect of a four-
year ban after his B sample tested
positive for a banned substance.
“The ICC has informed that he faces a
four-year ban,” Sports Minister
Dayasiri Jayasekera said.
“We are hoping to appeal,” he added.
Perera’s urine sample was tested in
Qatar after the ICC had originally
found it contained banned substance.
Consequently Perera had to drop out
of Sri Lanka’s current tour of New
Zealand. Sri Lanka lost the series 0-2.
Perera is Sri Lanka’s second player to
flunk a dope test.
Left-hander batsman Upul Tharanga
was suspended for three months after
testing positive for a banned
substance during the 2011 World Cup. Doping charge: Sri Lanka stumper Kusal Perera faces four-year ban
