Rambukwella back playing cricket after arrest

Ramith Rambukwella is back playing domestic cricket after being released on bail on Saturday, with SLC yet to make a decision on what disciplinary measures - if any - will be imposed.

Arrested on Friday night for assault and drunk driving, Rambukwella has since had the assault charges dropped, having come to a settlement with the complainants. The drunk driving charge remains however; he is due in court on Tuesday.

Although initially an SLC official told ESPNcricinfo that the board had only found out about the incident "through the media" and that it had "not had any official reports of the incident", Rambukwella's behaviour is set to be discussed at a manager's committee meeting on Tuesday. As such his contract with SLC may be under review. His ongoing participation in domestic cricket - he played a one-day match for Tamil Union on Monday - is less likely to be affected, but may also be under scrutiny.

Of particular concern to the board will be Rambukwella's history of disciplinary issues. He was arrested in 2016 under another drunk driving charge after he crashed his car into a wall. In 2013, he had also caused mild panic onboard a flight, when he attempted to open a cabin door at 35,000 feet while returning from a tour with the Sri Lanka A side.

A tall offspinning allrounder, Rambukwella played two T20 internationals for Sri Lanka, the most recent of which was in July 2016.
