Former Lanka player Dulip Samaraweera banned from coaching in Australia for 20 years

Former Sri Lankan Test cricketer Dulip Samaraweera, who was working as Victoria's women's team coach, has been banned for 20 years by the country's board after being found guilty of breaching its code of conduct with "utterly reprehensible" behaviour during his stint with the side.

Samaraweera, who played seven Tests and five ODIs for Sri Lanka and first joined Cricket Victoria as a batting coach in 2008, was banned following an investigation by Cricket Australia's Integrity Department.

According to cricket.com.au, the 52-year-old will not be allowed to hold any position in the cricketing set-up Down Under for the next two decades.
