Sri Lankan cricketer Kamil Mishara has been recalled from Bangladesh, where he is part of Sri Lanka’s Test squad, following a breach of tour rules.

The decision to recall Mishara from Bangladesh was taken on Monday night. 

The 21-year-old opening batter, who was born on the same date and month (April 24) as India's master-batsman Sachin Tendulkar, has played three T20Is for Sri Lanka. 

According to highly placed sources in Dhaka, Sri Lanka's team manager Mahinda Halangoda had conveyed the decision, of sending Mishara back home, to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials on Monday night at around 9 pm, after seeking the approval of SLC officials. 

A media release issued toda didn't specify the offence except stating that it was an alleged breach of rules [clause no 1 (j)] governing the player’s conduct/behaviour as depicted in his Tour Contract.

However, unconfirmed reports suggest the action has been taken keeping in mind the protocol which doesn't allow players to entertain any unauthorised male or female guests.  

"The security officer had accompanied Mishara to the airport, where the player boarded flight no. UL-190 at 12.55 pm on Tuesday,” the source said.   

This is not his first offence. In September 2019, he was penalised for misbehaving under the influence of liquor,
Along with two other players while on tour with the Sri Lanka Under 19 team.
