Colombo, March 25 (Daily Mirror) - An Indian cricket manager found guilty of match-fixing allegations related to the Legend Cricket League 2024 was today sentenced to four years of imprisonment by the Matale High Court.

High Court Judge Ravindra Premaratne also imposed a fine of Rs. 85 million on the accused, Yoni Patel, and ordered him to pay Rs. 2 million in compensation to the complainant, Sri Lankan former cricketer Upul Tharanga. The Attorney General had filed an indictment before the Colombo High Court against Yoni Patel, a team manager of the Legend Cricket League 2024.

The case proceeded in the absence of the accused, and the court issued a warrant for his arrest.

Counsel Nishan Sydney Premathiratne with Vikum Jayasinghe and Shenali Dias on the instructions of Gamindu Karunasena appeared for the interest of Upul Tharanga.

Isn’t there an inquiry into the match fixing of the 146th Battle of the Blues? Royal’s ‘sporty declaration’ is suspicious. Where do you see declarations not once but twice in both innings? This warrants an unbiased investigation
