Sri Lanka wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella has been suspended for a doping violation, as confirmed by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) in an official release.

The Sri Lanka Anti-Doping Agency conducted the test during this year’s Lanka Premier League.

Dickwella’s suspension is effective immediately and will continue until further notice.

“This initiative, undertaken in collaboration with the Ministry of Sports and in accordance with World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) guidelines, aims to ensure that cricket remains free from the influence of prohibited substances,” the release stated.

“SLC, along with the Ministry of Sports and SLADA, conducts these tests randomly during domestic tournaments to protect the sport against anti-doping violations.”

Dickwella captained the Galle Marvels in LPL 2024.
