Sri Lankan wicket-keeper batter Niroshan Dickwella has been granted permission to resume playing cricket across all formats with immediate effect.
This follows the decision by the Sri Lanka Anti-Doping Agency (SLADA) to reduce Dickwella’s 3-year ban to 3 months.

The 3-year ban was imposed by the SLADA on the 13th of August, 2024, as it detected a prohibited substance in a test report, following a random anti-doping test conducted on the player.

However, the latest decision by the agency to reduce the time period of his sanction comes following an appeal made by the player, supported by relevant evidence, which has confirmed that Dickwella has not consumed any banned substances during the “competition period” and that the identified substance was unrelated to “enhancing sports performance.”.
In light of this clearance, Niroshan Dickwella is now eligible to participate in all competitions conducted by the SLC.
