Former Test cricketer Chamara Silva and other cricketers have submitted an appeal against the ban imposed by Sri Lanka Cricket.

The SLC imposed a two-year ban on Silva from all "cricket-related activities" for his alleged role in a Tier B first-class match that featured unusual scoring rates.

The ruling comes after a seven-month inquiry into events of the third day of the Panadura Cricket Club v Kalutara Physical Culture Club match played from January 23 to 25, this year.

Many others have also been banned for their participation in the game, including Kalutara captain Manoj Deshapriya for a two-year period. The CEO of SLC, Ashley de Silva told "Hiru News", that the appeal will be looked into near future.
