    Sri Lanka Sports Ministry: Sri Lanka's Attorney General has informed the court that Yoni Patel, the owner of Kandy Samp Army, one of the seven teams played in the Legends Cricket Trophy, has been indicted on charges of match-fixing.

    A State Counsel representing the Attorney General informed the Colombo Magistrate on Monday that Patel had been charged with criminal charges before Colombo High Court. He is indicted on the counts of pressuring a cricketer to engage in corrupt practices during the Legends Cricket Trophy, played with the participation of a large number of retired international stars at Pallekele in the Central hills in Sri Lanka.

    The investigation had been started on a complaint by Sri Lanka’s retired national cricketer Upul Tharanga, a player in the team owned by Patel himself.
