SL allrounder Shanaka banned from PSL for one year
The PCB has banned Sri Lanka allrounder Dasun Shanaka from the PSL for one season. The board found Shanaka to have breached his agreement with Lahore Qalandars by opting out of the PSL and joining IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals instead, ESPNcricinfo reported. A PCB statement said the decision was made after a "comprehensive review". Shanaka, according to the board's statement, was found to have withdrawn unilaterally, which "constituted a clear breach of both the Player Registration terms and the Tripartite Agreement." He will be ineligible to participate in PSL 2027. The decision on Shanaka comes soon after the board also banned Zimbabwe fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani for two PSL seasons.
