An inquiry into Sri Lanka's nightmare display at the T20 World Cup in Australia last year has revealed that the team were involved in a casino brawl while key figures within the squad started to believe in a fake prophet.
A five-member independent panel investigated the team's off-field behaviour during the tournament and its surprising findings were revealed this week. The panel's 63-page report offered damning findings on the former T20 World Cup winners who failed to get out of the Super 12 stage at last year's tournament, finishing fourth in their group.
The report, which was received by AFP press agency, stated that bowler Chamika Karunaratne was "involved in a brawl at a casino along with six teammates when the star objected to having his picture taken".
