Sri Lanka ODI skipper Kusal Mendis has been found guilty of breaching ICC Code of Conduct.
Mendis copped a 50 percent fine and three demerit points for a Level 2 offence after he “abused the umpires while shaking hands with them” at the end of the third match.

This breached article 2.13 of the Code, which relates to “Personal abuse of a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire or Match Referee during an International Match.” This was a first offence for Mendis in a 24-month period.
Mendis admitted his offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.
