Sri Lanka Succeed At Last In Convincing ICC

Sri Lanka have finally succeeded to the extent of convincing the ICC`s Cricket Council to form a panel to review cricketing controversies like ball tampering and chucking.

The Cricket Council has recommended to the ICC for the formation of such a body. The final approval will be given at the annual meeting of the ICC at Lord`s next month. Sri Lanka were at the receiving end of allegations of ball tampering (for which they were later exonerated by the ICC) and throwing, when their leading spinner Muthiah Muralitharan was called twice during the last tour of Australia.
